AUTO UP/DOWN
In this practice mode, the speed gradually changes from the tempo that you initially set. It's a good way to
strengthen your endurance and practice tempo increases while playing single strokes in which you alternately strike
once with the left hand and once with the right hand, or double strokes in which you strike twice with each hand.
Speaking of which, you might like a tip on playing single strokes rapidly. The secret is to play in a relaxed way without
putting much force into the stroke. Make skillful use of the force of the stick rebounding from the head, and flick it
with your fingers. Don't try this with a fast tempo right away; start with a tempo that's plenty slow. Make sure that the
timing and the height to which you raise the sticks are consistent between your left and right hands. If the left/right
balance is poor, your rhythm won't be cohesive, and neither will you be able to play fast. Sometimes even when
you're intending to play left and right alternately, it might not turn out exactly that way. If you're having this
problem, take care that the left and right sticks move in exactly opposite ways, like a seesaw. This will keep your
single strokes nice and neat. Try it out!

The tempo will increase and/or decrease by 1 BPM on every beat.
The tempo will increase and/or decrease by 1 BPM every two beats. (initial setting)
The tempo will increase and/or decrease by 2 BPM every eight measures.
The tempo will increase and/or decrease by 5 BPM every eight measures.
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 acknowledge this and advance 5 BPM faster.
This continues until it reaches the metronome's maximum 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 increases by 5 BPM.
If you do not play accurately, the indicator flashes twice, and remains at the same
tempo for another eight measures.
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).
