Using Convenient Functions
(UTILITY)
This section includes UTILITY operations. UTILITY allows you to apply the Reverb effect, use the
metronome, and use other various convenient functions.

Using the metronome

The unit features a built-in metronome that helps you to practice and play with accurate tempo.
NOTE
• When a MIDI Song (page 23) is played back, the metronome plays according to the Song tempo and time signature.
• The metronome tempo and beat restore to the default settings when the power is turned off.
• The metronome volume can be adjusted via Button 3 [Func.] in the UTILITY (page 42).
• When in the Layer mode (page 19), you can play along with the metronome using only the acoustic piano sound by setting
the Voice to "---" (Off).
 Turning on/off the metronome
1
Press the Menu button several times
until the [UTILITY] lamp lights up

(VOICE/SONG/UTILITY), the dot keeps
flashing while the metronome is playing.
