the preset sound. When the power is turned off the effects will be reset
to the factory settings unless you use the “User Memory” function to save
your current reverb and effect settings. For more information about the
“User Memory” function please see page 43 in this manual.

HYTHM
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is
important to practice playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a
steady rhythm. The CN piano’s metronome is a tool that helps you to
achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.
STARTING THE METRONOME
Press the TEMPO button.
You will see the LED indicator turn on and
hear the metronome begin counting with a steady beat. The LCD display
shows the tempo in beats per minute.
Tempo is displayed in number of beats per minute.
To change the tempo, use the VALUE buttons to increase or
decrease the tempo within the range of 10 - 400 beats per minute.
(20-800 BPM with eighth note rhythms).
To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.
CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE
You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder
one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.
You can select a different time signature, if you want to. There are ten
different time signatures available on the CN piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4,
3/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8. You can also select one of the 100 built-in rhythm
styles instead of a simple metronome click.
