The MR16 provides the metronome function which can output the rhythm guide click during
recording. You can easily output the guide click from the [STEREO OUT L, R] jacks by pressing the
[RHYTHM GUIDE] key on the top panel. Two types of the rhythm guide are available: one has the

Setting the time signature and tempo
To output the rhythm guide
click, turn on the [RHYTHM
GUIDE] key. By default, the
guide click is output at time
signature=4/4, tempo=120.
You can output the rhythm
guide click according to the
desired constant time signa-
ture and tempo, as well as
the programmed rhythm
guide click based on the
conductor map.
You can set the default rhythm guide (time signature: 4/4, tempo: 120), output level, etc. using
the "Rhythm Guide" menu in the menu mode.
2) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select
"Rhythm Guide
", and press the [MENU/ENTER]
knob.
The display now shows the screen for setting
the rhythm guide, where "
Back" is
highlighted.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the menu mode.
The display now shows the first page of the
menu selection screen, where "
Back" is
highlighted initially (selecting "
Back"
returns to the previous screen).
Tip!: While the home screen is shown and
the recorder is stopped, long press of the
[RHYTHM GUIDE] key directly brings up the
screen for setting the rhythm guide.
When recording starts, the MR16 simultaneously starts feeding the rhythm guide
click from the [STEREO OUT L, R] jacks at the selected level (the default is 80).
Note that the rhythm guide click is not output during track bouncing. The output
level of the rhythm guide click is shown on the L and R level meters.
Note that you can monitor the rhythm guide click via headphones or (a) monitor
speaker(s). You cannot record the rhythm guide click to any MR16 track(s).
If you do not want to output the rhythm guide click, turn off the [RHYTHM GUIDE] key.
