Using the Metronome

The metronome feature of this keyboard produces a bell
sound for the first beat of each measure, followed by click
sounds for each successive beat of the measure. It is the perfect
tool for practicing tunes without accompaniment (rhythm).

To start the metronome

1

Press the METRONOME button to start sounding
the metronome.

• This causes “Beat” to appear on the display. Perform

step 2 within five seconds after “Beat” appears.

2

Use the number buttons or [+] and [–] to change
the number of beats per measure.

• You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number

of beats per measure.

NOTE

• The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not

sound while 0 beat per measure 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.

3

Use the TEMPO buttons to set the tempo.

• Press to increase the tempo (make if faster) or

to

decrease it (make it slower).

NOTE

• While the tempo value is flashing, you can also use the

number buttons or [+] and [–] to input a three-digit value.
Note that you must input leading zeros, so 90 is input
as 090.

• Pressing both the

and

TEMPO buttons at the same

time automatically returns the currently selected rhythm
or tune to its default tempo.

4

To turn off the metronome, press the METRONOME
button.

NOTE

• The metronome is disabled whenever you are using Step

1 or Step 2 of the 3-step lesson.

• Starting play of a two-hand tune or Step 3 of the 3-step

lesson while the metronome is operating or activating
the metronome while either of the two above operations
is already in progress causes the metronome to sound
in time with the Auto Accompaniment played by the
keyboard. At this time, the tempo of the metronome beat
changes to that of the default tempo for the Auto
Accompaniment being played.
