1P PROGRAMMING THE METRONOME
When playing back or recording segments, you can program the metronome for a
variety of different beats. The metronome produces an accented click on the first
beat of each measure and a softer click on the other beats.
1. The SP-12 must be stopped (RUN/STOP light off), and the SEGMENT light
must be on.
2. Press METRONOMES The Right Arrow and Left Arrow buttons step through
the various metronome options:
Off no metronome output
1/4 quarter notes (this is the default value)
1/4 t quarter note triplets
1/8 eighth
notes
1/8 t eighth note triplets
1/16 sixteenth
notes
1/16 t sixteenth note triplets
1/32 thirty-second
notes
1/32 t thirty-second note triplets
Click sends a 24 pulses-per-quarter-note signal out the rear channel MET
OUT jack for synchronizing other devices to the SP-12.
3. When the display shows the desired metronome value, press ENTER.
Note: The higher metronome speeds are useful when recording a fast, complex
drum part since you may slow the tempo way down, yet still have clicks occurring
regularly enough so that you know where you are in the segment. (If the tempo is
very slow and you select, for example, quarter note clicks, the clicks occur too far
apart to be helpful.)
