If you then press the BEAT/TAP [ ▲] or [▼] switch to enter Beat
mode, the metronome will begin sounding at the displayed
tempo.
If the BPM detected by the Tap Tempo function is less than 40,
the display will indicate “Lo”. If you then enter Beat mode, the
tempo will be set to “40” bpm.
If the BPM detected by the Tap Tempo function is greater than
208, the display will indicate “Hi”. If you then enter Beat mode,
the tempo will be set to “208” bpm.
4 Play along with the metronome tempo.
Using the tuner and metronome simultaneously
The TM-40 lets you use the tuner and metronome simultaneously.
For details on tuner operation and metronome operation, refer to
“Using the tuner” and “Using the metronome.”
Using the tuner and metronome simultaneously
For example if you're playing along with the metronome and notice
that your instrument is not tuned correctly, you can leave the
metronome running while you tune.
Proceed as follows.
1 Press the [METRONOME ON] switch.
In Beat mode
Press the [START/STOP–TAP IN] switch to start the metronome.
If necessary, specify the tempo and time signature etc.
To set the tempo: TEMPO [ ▲] or [▼] switch
To set the time signature : BEAT/TAP [ ▲] or [▼] switch
When using the tuner and metronome simultaneously, you
can't select “triplets”, “triplets without the center beat”,
“quadruplets” or “quadruplets without the center beats” as
the time signature.
In Tap mode
Simultaneously press the BEAT/TAP [ ▲] and [▼] switches to
enter Tap mode, and use the [START/STOP-TAP IN] switch to
input the tap tempo.
Then press the BEAT/TAP [
▲] or [▼] switch to enter Beat mode;
the metronome will start.
If necessary, use Beat mode to adjust the tempo and time
signature.
2 Press the [TUNER ON] switch to enter Meter mode.
The display will show the tuning meter. In this state, the tempo
is indicated by the LEDs located at the left and right of the
display.
If you want to tune in Sound Out mode, you should then press
the [SOUND] switch.
Adjust the calibration if necessary.
To adjust the calibration: CALIB [ ▲] or [▼] switch
Tuning in Meter mode
When you play a single note on your instrument, the display
will show the name of the note that is closest to the pitch you
played. Tune your instrument while watching the meter and the
tuning guide.
Tuning in Sound Out mode
Press the [SOUND] switch to select the name of the desired note.
Tune your instrument to the pitch you hear.
3 When you're finished tuning, press the [TUNER ON] switch.

you exchange the batteries, these settings will return to the following default
values.
Default values: Calibration = 440 Hz, Sound = 12 NOTES
The tempo, Time signature, and Tempo setting type (“PENDULUM STEP” or
“FULL STEP”) of the Metronome section are remembered even when the
power is off. However when you exchange the batteries, these settings will
return to the following default values.
Default values: Tempo = 120, Time signature = four beats, Tempo setting
type = PENDULUM STEP
* Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, the TM-40 may be unable to
detect the pitch if the sound contains numerous overtones (such as the low and
high notes on an acoustic piano) or if the instrument has a rapid decay.
Specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice for improve-
ment.
3 If you want to change the calibration setting, press the CALIB
[
▲] or [▼] switch. This setting is remembered even when the
power is off.
Press the CALIB [ ▲] or [▼] switch: The calibration setting
will increase or decrease in 1 Hz steps. If you hold down the
switch, the calibration setting will change continuously.
4 Play a single note on your instrument.
The name of the note closest to the note you played will appear
in the left of the display. Tune your instrument to the correct
pitch, so that the desired note name appears.
If you're using the internal mic, place your instrument as
close as possible to the mic so that extraneous sound is not
picked up while tuning.
5 While playing a single note on your instrument, tune your
instrument so that the tip of the meter indicates “0” and the
center indicator of the tuning guide is lit.
The left tuning guide indicator will light if the pitch of your
instrument is flat, and the right indicator if the pitch is sharp.
6 If you want to tune a just major third above or a minor third
above
a certain note, use the “ ” (-13.7 cent) or “ ” (+15.6 cent)
marks on the meter.
Tuning to a just major third above or a minor third above
If you want to tune to a just major third above A (0 cent), tune
your instrument so that the note name indicator shows C# and
the meter is at “ ”.
If you want to tune to a minor third above A (0 cent), tune your
instrument so that the note name indicator shows C and the
meter is at “ ”.
Tuning to a reference tone (Sound Out mode)
1 Press the [TUNER ON] switch.
You will enter the Meter mode.
2 Press the [SOUND] switch to select Sound Out mode.

By pressing and holding down the [SOUND] switch for approxi-
mately one second, you can switch between “12 NOTES” or
“AB .” This setting is remembered even when the power is off.
Now you can press the [SOUND] switch to choose the following
settings for “12 NOTES” or “AB ”.
12 NOTES : C (C4) → C# → D → E → E → F → F# → G → G# →
A → B → B → C (C5) → no display (Meter mode) → C (C4)...
