MEMO

) also shows the rhythm. If you don’t want to hear a click (such as in a live
performance), you can turn o the click sound and record while watching the blinking tempo indicator.
• As described in “Metronome (Click) Sound Settings (PHRASE LOOP SETUP-CLICK)” (p. 51), you can make settings such as
“sounding the click only on the rst pass of the loop,” changing the type of click sound, or adjusting the click volume.
