Using the Metronome
The metronome feature of this keyboard produces a bell sound for
the first beat of each measure, followed by click sounds for each suc-
cessive beat of the measure. It is the perfect tool for practicing tunes
without accompaniment (rhythm).
To start the metronome
1.
Press the METRONOME button to start sounding the
metronome.
2.
Press the BEAT button and then use the number but-
tons or [+] and [–] to change the number of beats per
measure.
• You can specify the number of beats per measure a value
from 1 to 6.
❚ NOTE ❚
The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not sound while one
beat per measure is specified. All beats are indicated by a click sound.
This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying about
how many beats there are in each measure.
3.
Use the TEMPO buttons to set the tempo.
• Press ▲ to increase the tempo (make if faster) or ▼ to de-
crease it (make it slower).

paniment played by the keyboard. At this time, the tempo of the metro-
