Using The Metronome; Changing The Tempo - Yamaha PSR-E233 Owner's Manual

Using the Metronome

The instrument features a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is convenient for prac-
ticing.
Press the [METRONOME] button to start the metronome.
To stop the metronome, press the [METRONOME] button again.
You can adjust the metronome tempo by pressing the [TEMPO/TAP] button (see
next section).

Changing the Tempo

Songs and Styles can be played at any tempo you desire—fast or slow.
1
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button to call up the Tempo setting in
the display.
2
Set the Tempo by using the number buttons [0]–[9], [+], [-].
Tap Start
You can supply a count-in at any tempo you like to start playback. Simply tap the
[TEMPO/TAP] button at any tempo—four times for time signatures in 4, and three
times for time signatures in 3—and the selected Song and Style rhythm will begin
playing at the tapped tempo.
You can change the tempo during Song or Style playback by pressing the button just
twice.

Using the Lesson Feature
NOTE
• You can set the time signa-
ture and the volume of the
Metronome (page 29 Func-
tion 018–019).
SHORTCUT
You can jump directly to the
Function settings by press-
ing and holding the [MET-
RONOME] button for longer
than a second.
NOTE
• The metronome time signa-
ture will synchronize to a
style or song that is playing,
so these parameters cannot
be changed while a style or
song is playing.
NOTE
• Press the [+] and [-] buttons
simultaneously to instantly
reset the value to the default
tempo.
NOTE
• In the case of a Style, the
selected Style rhythm will
begin playing at first. The
bass and chords will begin
playing as soon as you play
a chord in the auto accom-
paniment range of the key-
board (when auto
accompaniment is on).
