Metronome functions

Setting the metronome's tempo and time
signature
You can also use the metronome for practise
(i.e. without recording or playing back a
song). To do so, switch on the
[METRONOME] button (it must light) and
then proceed as follows:
A Switch off the [DISK], [MENU] or
[SOUND¥SELECT] button (if it lights).
B Press [BEAT] below the display and use the
[VALUE] knob to set the time signature (1/4,
2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 6/8, 9/8).
C Press [TEMPO] below the display and use the
[VALUE] knob to set the tempo (20~250).
Watch the BEAT indicator while setting
these two values and listen to the metro-
nome. It flashes green when the MR-200 is
not running, and red on the first beat/green
on the other beats during playback or
recording.
If necessary, change the setting of the [LEVEL]
knob on the MR-200's rear panel.
The BEAT and TEMPO values change when you
play back a song. You may therefore have to repeat
the above steps after playing back a song.
Count-in function
If you prefer to record without the metro-
nome, and therefore do not set the correct
tempo before starting a recording, the 2-
measure count-in before recording starts
may be distracting. That is why you can
switch it off. In that case, wait until the
[REC≈∏] button lights steadily before starting
to play (do not play anything while the
[REC≈∏] button is still flashing).
The Count-In function is only available for record-
ing – not for playback.
A Press the [MENU] button.
B Use the PAGE [√][®] buttons to select the fol-
lowing function:
Count In
You can also select this function by pressing
and holding [METRONOME].
C Use the [VALUE] knob to select "Off"
(Count-In not available) or "On" (Count-
In available).
D Press [MENU] again to leave this function.
The following message appears.
Yes
E If you wish to keep this setting, press the
[TRACK] button to save your setting. Press
[TEMPO] to leave the menu without saving
your change.
If you press [TEMPO], your setting is only
preserved until you switch the MR-200 off.
