Metronome
The E-60/E-50 is equipped with a metronome that can
be used in various situations. To use the metronome,
here is what you need to do:
(1) Press the [METRONOME] button (so that it lights).
(2) Start Arranger or song playback and you will hear
the metronome.
(3) Press the [METRONOME] button again to switch off
the metronome.
Metronome settings
The E-60/E-50 also allows you to specify when and how
the metronome should sound:
(1) Press and hold the [METRONOME] button.
The display now looks as follows:
Note: When neither the Arranger nor the Recorder/16-track
sequencer is running, the [METRONOME] button flashes to
indicate the current tempo.
(2) Set the available parameters to your liking:
■VOLUME LEVEL
Press the [LOW], [MEDIUM] or [HIGH] field to specify
the metronome’s basic level. The default setting is
[MEDIUM].
■COUNT IN
This parameter allows you to switch the Count-In
function on (to “1 BAR” or “2 BAR”) or off. When on,
the metronome will count in the specified number of
measures (bars) before the Arranger starts playing.
Note: This count-in is also available when you are using the
Sync Start function. In that case, playing a chord means that
the Arranger only starts after 1 or 2 measures.
[OFF]: The count-in function is off.
[1¥BAR], [2¥BAR]: Whenever you start Arranger play-
back, the metronome counts in 1 or 2 bars before the
selected Music Style pattern starts playing.
Note: The Count-In function can be used independently of the
metronome. There is thus no need to activate the metronome
in order to hear the count-in.
■MODE
Yet another option on the above display page is to
specify when the metronome should sound:
[ALWAYS]: The metronome even counts when play-
back is stopped. Press this field if you want to hear
the metronome at all times (which is probably only
useful when practising a new song).
[PLAY]: Press this field if the metronome should only
sound while the Arranger or Recorder is playing.
[REC]: Press this field if the metronome should only
sound during song or Music Style recording (see
pages 123 and 151).
The metronome signal is transmitted to the OUTPUT
MAIN and PHONES sockets.
(3) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
