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 CP piano’s metronome is a
tool that helps you to achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.
To use the Metronome:
1) Press the METRONOME button. The CP piano will start counting with an audible steady beat. You
will see Volume level, Beat (time signature), as well as the Metronome icon appear in the LCD
screen next to the Tempo value.
2) Use the BEAT, VOLUME, or TEMPO buttons (F2–F7) to select the setting you wish to change.
3) Use the F buttons (F2-F7) or the Dial to change the values.
You can also adjust the tempo by tapping on the TAP TEMPO button. Simply tap on the button with
your finger three or more times at the desired tempo, and the CP will automatically translate that
into a tempo value on the screen!
4) To stop the metronome, press the METRONOME button again.
