Setting the Metronome function ("Click ?" menu)
"Setting the Metronome function" menu allows you to determine whether or not the FD-8 outputs a metronome
sound from Real track 8 during playback or recording. Turning the Metronome function on enables you to
record your performance while playing the instrument accompanying the metronome sound.
Note:
Since Real track 8 outputs the metronome sound when this function is turned on, you cannot play the audio recorded on this track.
Also, do not record any data on track 8.
The FD-8 can output the metronome sound even from an unrecorded area (outside of the range from ABS 0 to REC END) on track 8.
