Using Built-in Tones
Changing the Tempo Setting
There are two different methods you can use to change
the tempo setting: by pressing q (faster) and w
(slower) buttons or by tapping a beat with a button.
To adjust the tempo using q and w
buttons
1.
Use the

(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.
While holding down the

(FUNCTION)
button, tap the q

(TEMPO) 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 q and w buttons” to adjust
the setting to a more exact value.
Adjusting the Metronome Volume
You can use the following procedure to adjust the
volume level of the metronome, without affecting the
volume of Digital Piano output.
1.
While holding down the

(FUNCTION)
button, press the
(METRONOME) button.
This displays the metronome volume screen.
2.
Use the

(w, q) buttons to adjust the
metronome volume.
3.
Press the

(FUNCTION) button.
This will exit the metronome volume screen and cause
the FUNCTION lamp to go out.
NOTE
You also can use the procedure under “Metronome
Volume” (page E-41) to adjust the metronome
volume.
You can use the Duet Mode to split the Digital Piano’s
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for
example, the teacher can play on the left and the
student can follow along on the right. Or one person
can play the left hand part on the left, while another
plays the right hand part on the right.
