The Metronome
At any time, you can activate the METRONOME for practising purposes. To play with the
Metronome, press the STYLE button and insert the value 00 on the numeric keypad (press the
“0” button twice).
Press the [START/STOP] button to start the Metronome. The Metronome
starts beating time with a ‘tick’. If you select the Metronome while you
are playing a Style, the auto accompaniment will stop and the Metro-
nome will take over as the provider of the beat. The Metronome is useful
to practice keeping time or when you have to practice a study piece.
To stop the Metronome tick, press the [START/STOP] button.

MIDI channel from 1 -16. If you select the MIDI function, the
display shows the factory-set MIDI channel assignment.

ue, or the [–/OFF] button to decrease the channel number
