Using the Metronome

❚ PREPARATION

• Check to make sure that the indicator above the RECORD

button is off. If the indicator is on, press the RECORD button to
turn it off.

• See the section of this User’s Guide covering the song memory

for details on using the metronome in combination with the
function.

To use the metronome

Press METRONOME to start the metronome.

Set the beat of the metronome.

• While holding down the CONTROL button, press the

METRONOME BEAT key 1 to select a beat setting.

• A note does not sound when you press a keyboard

key while holding down CONTROL.

• The first value of the beat can be set to a value of 2

through 6. The bell that normally indicates the first
beat of a measure does not sound while a value of 0 is
specified. All beats are indicated by a click sound. This
setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without
worrying about how many beats there are in each
measure.

Use one of the procedures below to set the tempo
to a value in the range of 30 to 255 beats per
minute.

• To scroll the tempo value: While holding down the

CONTROL button, use the TEMPO + (increase) and
– (decrease) keys 5 to scroll the tempo value. Holding
down either key changes the setting at high speed.
Pressing + and – at the same time automatically selects
a tempo value of 120.

• To input the tempo value: While holding down the

CONTROL button, use the number input keys 4 to
input a two-digit or three-digit tempo value in the
range of 30 to 255. You can input a two digit or a three-
digit value. The value you input is applied to the
tempo when you release the CONTROL button. The
tempo setting does not change if you input a one-digit
value or a value that is outside of the allowable range.

When you want to stop the metronome, press
METRONOME again.

• Pressing METRONOME again restarts the metronome

sound using the current beat and tempo setting.

• If you want to change both the tempo and the beat

before restarting the metronome, perform the above
procedure here.

❚ NOTE

• You can change metronome beat and tempo settings at any

time, even while the metronome is sounding.

• You can also use the metronome in combination with song

memory play. See the section of this User’s Guide covering
the function for details.

Adjusting the Metronome Volume

Use the following procedure to increase and decrease the
volume of the metronome beat.

To adjust the metronome volume

While holding down the CONTROL button, use
the METRONOME VOL keys 2 to input 1, 2, or
3.

❚ NOTE

• Metronome volume is automatically set to 2 whenever you turn

on the digital piano.
