Changing the Time Signature ● ● ●
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 currently selected time signature is dis-
played.
2
Use the dial to select the number of
beats per measure.
A chime will sound on the first beat of each
measure, while a metronome “click” will sound
on all others. You can also set the time signa-
ture to “00,” in which case the chime will not
sound and the “click” sound will be heard on
all beats. Up to 60 can be set. Select 3 for this
example.

Press the CATEGORY [ ] button once to
call up the Time Signature Denominator
display.

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