Changing the Beats Per Measure
You can specify from two to six beats per measure for

will sound a straight beat, without a chime. This setting
lets you practice with a steady beat.

Changing the Tempo Setting
There are two different methods you can use to change
the tempo setting: by pressing
ck (q) (faster) and ck
(w) (slower) buttons or by tapping a beat with a
button.
■ To adjust the tempo using ck (TEMPO, w,
q) buttons

Use the ck (TEMPO, w, q) buttons to
adjust the tempo setting.
Each press of a button increases or decreases the beats
per minute value by one.
•
Holding down either button changes the value at
high speed.
• You can specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to
255.
■ To adjust the tempo by tapping a beat
1.
Tap the ck (TEMPO, TAP) button four times
in time with the beat you want to specify.
• The tempo setting will change in accordance with the
timing of your tapping.
• After you use this method to specify the approximate
tempo, you can then use the procedure under “To
adjust the tempo using
ck (TEMPO, w, q)
buttons” to adjust the setting to a more exact value.
