Choosing a time signature
When turning the metronome on from the Main page, the de-
fault time signature of 4/4 is chosen, but you can adjust it by
accessing the Metronome page (as shown below).
Note: If the PLAY/PAUSE button is flashing, you cannot change
the time signature.
Note: If you enter editing later, you might see a different edit
page instead of the first one. Use the SCROLL
button to
reach it.
1. Press the TEMPO + and TEMPO – (or MET.SET) buttons
together. The first Metronome page, Metro TS/Tempo,
will appear, with the Time Signature parameter selected:
2. Use the +/YES and -/NO buttons to select a time signature.
Ordinary times are at the beginning, while drum patterns
are at the end. You can quick jump from the one to the
other by pressing the +/YES and -/NO button together.
3. Press the EXIT button to return to the Main page.
Drum patterns
Instead of an ordinary time signature (4/4, 3/4, etc…), a drum
pattern can be assigned to the metronome. This will give you
the sense you are playing together with a real drum player. You
can also record a drum pattern into a song.
Note: Contrary to ordinary metronome “clicks”, drum pattern
notes can also be recorded by the internal recorder. They can
also be transmitted via MIDI, so you can record them on an ex-
ternal sequencer, or make them play with an external instru-
ment (see “MIDI” on page 59).
Drum patterns are in the second half of the time signature list.
While the list is selected, either scroll to it, or press both the +/
YES and -/NO buttons together, to quick jump to the drum
patterns. Press these buttons together again to quick jump to
the ordinary time signatures (4/4 selected).
Here is how to use the drum patterns:
1. While in the Main page, press the METRONOME button
to start the metronome. A Count In is heard, then the
drum pattern begins.
2. While in the Main page (either with a sound or a perfor-
mance selected), or in the Record page, press EXIT (or a
pedal with the Fill In function assigned, see page 52). A Fill
In is played, then a variation of the base drum pattern start
playing.
3. Press EXIT (or the pedal) again. A second Fill In is played,
then the base drum pattern returns playing.
4. Press the METRONOME button to stop the metronome.
