Choosing a time signature
When turning the metronome on from the Main page, the de-
fault time signature of 4/4 is chosen, but you can adjust it by
accessing the Metronome page (as shown below).
Note: If the PLAY/PAUSE button is flashing, you cannot change
the time signature.
Note: If you enter editing later, you might see a different edit
page instead of the first one. Use the SCROLL
reach it.
1.
Press the TEMPO + and TEMPO – (or MET.SET) buttons
together. The first Metronome page, Metro TS/Tempo,
will appear, with the Time Signature parameter selected:
Metro TS/Tempo 1
4/4
Drum patterns
Instead of an ordinary time signature (4/4, 3/4, etc...), a drum
pattern can be assigned to the metronome. This will give you
the sense you are playing together with a real drum player. You
can also record a drum pattern into a song.
Note: Contrary to ordinary metronome "clicks", drum pattern
notes can also be recorded by the internal recorder. They can
also be transmitted via MIDI, so you can record them on an ex-
ternal sequencer, or make them play with an external instru-
ment (see "MIDI" on page 56).
Drum patterns are in the second half of the time signature list.
While the list is selected, either scroll to it, or press both the +/
YES and -/NO buttons together, to quick jump to the drum
patterns. Press these buttons together again to quick jump to
the ordinary time signatures (4/4 selected).
