Using the metronome

Your FR-1 contains a metronome that may come in handy when you are practising new
pieces, or during your accordion classes.
Setting the time signature
To set the time signature, proceed as fol-
lows:
(1) Before changing this value, it might
be a good idea to switch the metro-
nome on by pressing the
[METRONOME÷INC] H button (it
lights).
(2) Press and hold the [SET] register until it
starts flashing.
The Treble keyboard can now be used to
select the desired function.
(3) Press the G#2 key or
button number
"10".
The [SET] E register
flashes rapidly, and
the Treble keyboard
can once again be
used to play notes.
(4) Use registers [1]~[4]
F to select one of the following set-
tings.

ters.

Roland FR-1 – Quick Start
Note: Press the [DRUMS/DEFAULT] I button
or register [3] to return to the factory setting
of the currently selected parameter.
(5) Press the [SET] E register once (so that
it flashes slowly) and proceed with the
next parameter.
(Press the [SET] register twice to leave the
FR-1's FUNCTION mode.)
Setting the tempo
We'll assume that you are still in "FUNC-
TION" mode ([SET] E flashes slowly). To
set this parameter at a later stage, press
and hold the [SET] register until it starts
flashing slowly.
(1) Press the G2 key (i.e. the lowest G) or
button "9". See the owner's manual
for the location.
The [SET] register now flashes rapidly, and
the Treble keyboard can once again be
used to play notes.
Note: You can also select this parameter by
pressing and holding the [METRONOME÷INC]
H button.
(2) Use registers [1]~[4] F to select one of
the following suggested values.
Metronome tempo
1 Adagio (72 BPM)
2• Moderato (120 BPM)
3 Allegro (144 BPM)
