The Metronome & Tempo Control
The P-80 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can
also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording with the User Song Recorder
feature, described in the next section.
The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing
the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. When on, the beat indi-
cator flashes at the current tempo.

Metronome Time Signature

The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be set by using the
[–/NOM] and [+/YESL] buttons while holding the METRONOME
[START/STOP] button. You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4 or 6 (the
current setting appears on the LED display while the METRONOME
[START/STOP] button is held). Press the [–/NOM] and [+/YESL]
buttons simultaneously while holding the METRONOME [START/
STOP] button to recall the default setting "0" (no accent).

Metronome Volume Function

The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted via the
Metronome Volume function in the Function mode—page 31.
The tempo of the metronome and user song recorder playback (the re-
corder is described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per
minute by using the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# M,L] buttons. The selected
tempo will appear on the LED display while in the normal play mode and
while the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# M,L] buttons are being used to adjust
the tempo in the recording/playback mode. The default tempo (120 or the
recorded song tempo when the recorder contains data and the playback track
indicator is lit) can be recalled by simultaneously pressing the [M] and [L]
buttons.
