Using the Metronome
The [METRONOME ON/OFF] button lets you start or stop the metronome. The
metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you
practice, or letting you hear and check how a specific tempo sounds.
Adjusting the Tempo
The TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons let you change the playback tempo of Metronome, Style
and MIDI Song. The tempo of the Style and MIDI Song can also be adjusted via the
[TAP] button.
TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons
Press the TEMPO [-] or [+] button to call up the Tempo pop-up display. Use the
TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons to decrease or increase the tempo over a range of 5 – 500 beats
per minute. Holding down either button can change the value continuously. Pressing
both TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons can call up the default tempo of the last selected Style
or Song.
[TAP] button
During playback of a Style or MIDI Song, you can change the tempo by tapping the
[TAP] button twice at the desired tempo. When Style and Song are stopped, tapping the
[TAP] button (four times for a 4/4 time signature) starts playback of the rhythm part of
the Style at the tempo you tapped.
