AUTO UP/DOWN

AUTO UP/DOWN is designed to improve your playing stamina by
increasing and then decreasing the metronome speed. The
tempo will increase until it reaches the tempo you set. Then it will
decrease until it reaches the starting tempo. This repeats until
you press the [START/STOP] button. This helps you to discover
the tempos that are challenging for you.

The tempo will increase and/or decrease by 1 BPM on
every beat.

eight measures.
The tempo will increase and/or decrease by 5 BPM every

The tempo will increase and/or decrease every eight
measures. The amount by which the tempo changes
also increases as the tempo continues to increase.
* When the tempo of the metronome is changed, it
begins at the tempo closest to one of the
predetermined starting tempos.
This is the Speed Check. With Speed Check, if you play
correctly for eight measures, the RMP-5 will acknowl-
edge this and advance 5 BPM faster.
This continues until it reaches the metronome's maxi-
mum tempo.
The exercise begins after a two-measure count-in.
When you play the passage accurately, the indicator
flashes four times in the display, and the tempo increas-
es by 5 BPM.
If you do not play accurately, the indicator flashes twice,
and remains at the same tempo for another eight mea-
sures.
When Speed Check is selected, the timing of the
notes being checked and the degree of difficulty
are determined in accordance with the Time Check
settings (p. 13).
What is BPM?
BPM is an abbreviation for "Beats Per Minute" (number
of quarter-note beats in a one-minute period). Also
means "tempo."
