ETRONOME
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is
important to practice playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a
steady rhythm. The CE200 piano’s metronome is a tool that helps you to
achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.
STARTING THE METRONOME
Press the TEMPO button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and
hear the metronome begin counting with a steady beat. The display shows
the tempo in beats per minute.
To change the tempo, use the VALUE buttons to increase or
decrease the tempo within the range of 10 - 400 beats per minute.
(20 - 800 BPM with eighth note rhythms).
To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.
CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE
You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder
one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.
You can select a different time signature, if you want to. There are seven
different time signatures available on the CE200 piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4,
5/4, 3/8 and 6/8.
To change the time signature, use the BEAT button.
Press the BEAT button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and
hear the metronome begin counting. The display shows the time signature.
Use the VALUE buttons to select your desired time signature. You
will see the time signature currently selected in the display.
RHYTHM METRONOME
You can also select from 30 additional rhythm styles instead of a
simple metronome click.
Keep pressing the VALUE buttons to select the desired rhythm
style number. See page 54 for the rhythm style list.
