Using the Metronome
The YDP-223 features a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is conve-
nient for practicing.
1. Start the metronome.
The metronome sound is turned on by pressing
the METRONOME [START/STOP] button.
Adjusting the tempo
The tempo of the metronome and user song recorder playback (the recorder is
described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per minute by
using the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# ▼, ▲] buttons (when the [TEMPO/FUNC-
TION# ▼, ▲]
button’s [TEMPO] indicator is lit).
Adjusting the time signature
The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be
set by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while
holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button.
You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The current
setting appears on the LED display while you are
holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button.
2. Stop the metronome.
Turn off the metronome by pressing the METRONOME [START/STOP] button.
