The instrument features a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is con-
venient for practicing.

the
METRONOME [ON/OFF] button.
Adjusting the tempo
The tempo of the metronome and user song recorder playback (the recorder is
described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per minute by
using the
[TEMPO/FUNCTION ▼, ▲] buttons (when the [TEMPO/FUNCTION
▼, ▲] button’s [TEMPO] indicator is lit).
Adjusting the time signature
The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be
set by using the
[–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while
holding the METRONOME [ON/OFF] button. You
can set the beat from 0 to 15. The current setting
appears on the LED display while you are holding
the
METRONOME [ON/OFF] button.
A beat setting of “0” plays a low click sound for all beats, while a setting of “1”
plays a high click sound for all beats; other beat settings play a high click for the
first beat in a measure and a low click for all following beats.
