PLAYING THE
PIANO
9) METRONOME
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is important to practice playing the piano
at the correct tempo and with a steady rhythm. The CN33 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 TEMPO button.
The LED indicator for the TEMPO button will turn on, and the metronome will begin
counting with a 4/4 beat.
The metronome tempo in beats per minute (BPM) will be shown in the LED display.
Step 2
Press the S or T VALUE buttons to adjust the metronome tempo to the desired value.
The metronome tempo can be adjusted within the range of 10-400 beats per minute.
Step 3
Press the TEMPO button again to deactivate the metronome.
The LED indicator for the TEMPO button will turn off, indicating that the metronome has been deactivated.
Any changes made to the metronome tempo will remain until the power is turned off.
When the power is turned off, the metronome tempo will return to the default setting of ‘120’ (120 BPM).
CHANGING THE METRONOME TIME SIGNATURE
The metronome produces two types of click, with a bell sound indicating the first 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.
Step 1
Press the BEAT button.
The LED indicator for the BEAT button will turn on and the metronome will begin
