SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       klick  is  an advanced command-line based metronome using the JACK sound server. It allows
       you to define complex tempo maps for entire songs or performances.   A  single  meter  and
       tempo can be specified on the command line, while more complex tempo maps can be read from
       plain text files. Alternatively, it's also possible to  run  klick  in  interactive  mode,
       where  the  tempo  can  be  changed  at  runtime  using  the  keyboard, or to follow tempo
       information read from JACK transport.
