Sounding a Count Before Playback/Recording (Count-In)

A count that is sounded before song playback or recording begins is called a "count-in. "
Sounding a Count-In Before Song Playback
If a count is sounded in time with the song before playback begins, it's
easier to match the timing of your own playing with the song.
1
Hold down the [Metronome] button and press the [s]
button.
After the count-in is heard, the song plays.
Sounding a Count-In Before Recording
* In advance, sound the metronome, and set the time signature and
tempo (p. 3).

Press the [t] button.
2
Press the [s] button.
After the count-in (one measure by default) is heard, recording starts.
MEMO
If you play the keyboard instead of pressing the [s] button,
recording starts immediately, without sounding a count-in.
