one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature. The LCD also displays the beats per measure
visually
You can select a different time signature, if you want to, out of the nine
available with the CA piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8.
