GETTING STARTED
4) METRONOME
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is important to practise playing the piano
at the correct tempo and with a steady rhythm. The CN22 digital piano’s metronome function helps learners to
achieve this by providing a steady beat to play along with.
STARTING THE METRONOME
Step 1
Press the METRONOME button.
The LED indicator for the METRONOME button will turn on, and the metronome
will begin counting with a 1/4 beat.
Step 2
Press the METRONOME button again.
The LED indicator for the METRONOME button will turn off, and the metronome will stop counting.
The metronome is set to a default time signature of 1/4 and tempo of 120 each time the piano is turned on.
CHANGING THE METRONOME TIME SIGNATURE
The metronome produces two types of click, with a bell sound indicating the fi rst beat of a bar - this is a 4-beat or
4/4 time signature. It is possible to select a different signature where appropriate. There are seven different types
of time signature available: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, and 6/8.
The volume level of the metronome can also be changed.
Step 1
Press and hold the METRONOME button, then select the desired time signature by pressing one of the
lowermost black keys assigned to that beat.
When the 1/4 beat is selected, only the click sound will be heard. The bell accent will not be heard.
