METRONOME
This function lets you set the tempo and start the rhythm in one operation. Sim-
ply tap the [TAP] button at the required tempo — 3 times for a 3/4 style and 4
times for a 4/4 style. The rhythm will start from the beginning of the next measure
at the specified tempo.
During rhythm playback the current measure number is shown on the TEMPO
display.
The four LED dots of the BEAT display provide a visual indication of the se-
lected tempo. The leftmost (red) dot flashes on the first beat of each measure,
the second dot flashes on the second beat, and so on (all dots except the
leftmost dot are green). When a 3/4-time rhythm is selected, only the first three
dots will flash.
The CVP-87A, CVP-85A and CVP-83S provide two types of automatic "fill-
ins."
Fill To Normal: Press the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button during
playback to produce a fill-in and go to the normal rhythm.
Fill To Variation: Press the [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] button
during playback to produce a fill-in and go to the variation pattern.
If you hold one of the FILL buttons, the fill-in will repeat until the end of the
measure in which button is released.
The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/
STOP] button. Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button if you want to go to the
ending pattern and then stop.
The CVP-87A, CVP-85A, and CVP-83S also offer a metronome function that is
ideal for practice.
To start the metronome, simply press the [METRONOME] button so that its
indicator lights. The metronome will play at the currently selected tempo whether a
style is playing or not. The metronome volume can be adjusted via the RHYTHM
volume control.
Press the [METRONOME] button again to stop the metronome sound (the
METRONOME indicator will go out). The metronome will also stop automati-
cally if the [START/STOP] button is pressed to stop a style in progress.
