Listening To The Metronome While You Record - Korg D8 Owner's Manual

11. Listening to the metro-
nome while you record
The D8 contains a wide variety of metronome pat-
terns for each time signature. (Refer to "Metro-
nome pattern list") If you have an idea for a song,
you can record immediately using the built-in met-
ronome without having to connect a rhythm
machine etc.

The metronome sound will be output together
with the master audio output from the OUTPUT
L·R jacks.
