TUTORIAL: BASIC OPERATIONS
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is

steady rhythm. The CN piano's metronome is a tool that helps you to
achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.

hear the metronome begin counting with a steady beat. The LED display
shows the tempo in beats per minute

the tempo within the range of 30 - 300 beats per minute. (60-600 BPM
with 6/8).
To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.

CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE

You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder
one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.
You can select different a time signature if you want to out of the six
available with the CN piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 6/8.

You can use either the TEMPO or BEAT button to turn the metronome on
and off. Choose the appropriate button depending on whether you're
