Metronome Function
The VF-16 incorporates a tempo map to set a desired bar/beat (4/4, 3/4, etc.) and tempo (30-250). It is possible
to output a metronome sound, according to the setting of the tempo map. This allows for recording in sync with
the rhythm output from the VF-16 without having to use an external metronome or rhythm box.
Setting the tempo map
The user must first set the tempo map to output
metronome sound. The tempo map can be set through
the "Beat Setting" menu and "Tempo Setting" menu
of the SETUP mode. The default setting of the tempo
map is set to 4/4 bar/beat with a tempo of 120. The
following procedures are unnecessary if the default
setting does not have to be modified. The tempo map
of the default setting means that the metronome
sound will always click at a 4/4 beat and 120 tempo.
1. Press the [SETUP] key when the VF-16 is in the STOP
mode, to go to the SETUP mode.
The display to select a SETUP menu appears.
2. Use the [JOG] dial to select the "Signature Set" menu,
then press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The menu to set the beat appears. Refer to "Setting the
Beat" on page 99 for more details on how to customize
the beat setting.
3. After setting the beat, press the [EXIT/NO] key to return
to the SETUP menu.
4. Use the [JOG] dial to select the "Tempo Set" menu, then
press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The menu to set the tempo appears. Refer to "Setting the
Tempo" on page 101 for more details on how to
customize the tempo setting.
5. After setting the tempo, press the [EXIT/NO] key to
return to the SETUP menu.
Next, proceed with the "Setting Metronome Output"
procedure.
Setting metronome output
The next step is whether to set the system to output
metronome sound or not. This is done in the same
manner as setting the tempo map and is set from the
"Metronome Function Setting" menu in the SETUP
mode.
1. Use the [JOG] dial to select the "Click?" menu, then press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
The currently set item (On or Off) flashes.
The default setting is set to "Off".
2. Use the [JOG] dial to select "On" (flashing), then press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
The metronome function is now turned "On".
3. When the setting has been completed, press the [EXIT/
NO] key twice to escape from the SETUP mode.
Set the time base to the BAR/BEAT.
1. Press the [DISP SEL] key while the [SHIFT] key is
depressed to switch the time base display to the "BAR/
BEAT" display.
It is possible to check the bar/beat set in the tempo map
by switching to the "BAR/BEAT" display.
Checking metronome sound
1. Press the [PLAY] key to play the VF-16.
The metronome sound level appears on the level meter
of ch16. At this time, turn up the master fader and fader
of ch16 to "0", then use the [PHONES] knob or [MON OUT]
knob to turn up the volume, to monitor the metronome
sound.
It is possible to output the metronome sound from ch16 as
described above. It is also possible to use the metronome
sound as a guide to record to ch1-15.
The metronome sound (clicking
sound) cannot be heard unless
ch16 is set to "TRK (Track)".
Press the [INPUT SEL] key to see
that ch16 is set to "TRK", as shown
in the display on the left.
When the metronome function is no longer necessary, always
go to the SETUP mode to turn OFF the metronome function.
As long as the metronome function is ON, it is not possible to
record on track 16, and any sounds already recorded on track
16 cannot be played.
Use the ch16 fader to adjust the output level
of the metronome sound (clicking sound).
