Changing the Beats per Measure:

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the first beat of each measure of the song you are playing.• You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of beat per measure.• When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting (which determines when the bell sounds) is configured automatically for the currently selected song.

  1. Hold down 5 until the beats per measure setting screen appears on the display.

  1. If you do not perform any operation for after the beats per measure setting screen appears, the display will return to the screen displayed before you pressed 5.
  2. Use 16 (10-key) to enter the number of beats per measure. The bell will not sound if you specify 0 for this setting. In this case, all beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying how many beats there are in each measure

Changing the Metronome Tempo:

  1. Press 6.
  2. Use w (slower) and q (faster) to change the tempo setting. Holding down either button changes the setting at high speed.
  3. Pressing w and q at the same time will initialize the tempo setting in accordance with the currently selected song or rhythm.
  4. Pressing 6 causes the tempo value to flash on the display. While the tempo value is flashing, you can use bq (10-key) to change it.Note that you must input leading zeros, so 89 is input as 089.
  5.  The tempo value will stop flashing if you do not perform any operation for a short while.
