Tempo value
Using the Metronome
The metronome feature of this keyboard produces a bell
sound for the first beat of each measure, followed by click
sounds for each successive beat of the measure. It is the perfect
tool for practicing tunes without accompaniment (rhythm).
To start the metronome
1Press the METRONOME button to start sounding
the metronome.
•This causes “Beat” to appear on the display. Perform
step 2 within five seconds after “Beat” appears.
2Use the number buttons or [+] and [–] to change
the number of beats per measure.
•You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number
of beats per measure.
NOTE
•The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not
sound while one beat per measure is specified. All beats
are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you
practice with a steady beat, without worrying about how
many beats there are in each measure.
3Use the TEMPO buttons to set the tempo.
•Press  to increase the tempo (make if faster) or  to
decrease it (make it slower).
NOTE
•While the tempo value is flashing, you can also use the
number buttons or [+] and [–] to input a three-digit value.
Note that you must input leading zeros, so 90 is input
as 090.
•Pressing both the 
 and  TEMPO buttons at the same
time automatically returns the currently selected rhythm
or tune to its default tempo.
4To turn off the metronome, press the METRONOME

Howling (Feedback Noise)
Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback
noise).
•Covering the head of the microphone with your hand
•Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker
Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further
away from the head, and move away from any nearby
speaker.

							E-36
NOTE
•Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted
fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-
G) will produce the same chords as the standard
fingering.
•Except for the exception specified in note*
2 above, all
of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed.
Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired
FINGERED chord.
FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different
chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED
plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input
of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD
pattern to be a chord. Any other input (that is not a FULL
RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play.
Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment
keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end, can be
used for both melody and chords.
