Selecting a Click Set

The term "click set" is used to describe a collection of metronome settings. You can customize
these click sets as necessary, and your DTX502 can store up to 30 of them. The following
describes how to recall a previously stored click set.
1.
Move the cursor to the click set number using the [<]/
[>] buttons.
2.
Turn the Data Dial to choose a click set.
Click sets are numbered 1 to 30.
Whenever you change metronome parameters as described on the following pages, it is wise to
store them. Details on how to do so can be found in Storing a Customized Click Set (page 37).
