NOTE

Any changes you make to the reverb and the effects are stored with the

preset sound in memory as long as the power is on. When you reselect a

sound, your chosen reverb and effect settings will be recalled along with

the preset sound. When the power is turned off the effects will be reset

to the factory settings unless you use the “User Memory” function to save

your current reverb and effect settings. For more information about the

“User Memory” function please see page 43 in this manual.

HYTHM

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 CN 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 LCD display

shows the tempo in beats per minute.

Tempo is displayed in number of 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 ten

different time signatures available on the CN piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4,

3/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8. You can also select one of the 100 built-in rhythm

styles instead of a simple metronome click.
