In this example we’ll set up a 3/8 time signature.
1
Press and hold the [METRONOME] but-
ton for longer than a second.
The metronome time signature and length of
each beat will be shown on the display.
2
Use the dial to select the number of
beats per measure.
A chime will sound on the first beat of each
measure while the other beats will click. All
beats will simply click with no chime at the
beginning of each measure if you set this
parameter to “00”.
The available range is from 0 through 60.
Select 3 for this example.

Press the category [INC] button once to
display “Time Signature – Denominator”.

Use the dial to select a beat length.
Select the required length for each beat: 2,4,8
or 16 (half note, quarter note, eight note, or
16th note). For this example, select 8. The time
signature should now be set to 3/8.
Press the [METRONOME] button to confirm
the settings.

The metronome time signature will synchronize to a pattern or song
that is playing, so these parameters cannot be changed while a pat-
tern or song is playing.
