Stopping the metronome

To stop the metronome, press the [METRONOME] switch once again.

The [METRONOME] switch indicator will turn off, and the metronome will stop.

Adjusting the tempo

Press the “Tempo” cell in the “Metronome” page and use the dial or [VALUE] switches to adjust the tempo, or use the [TEMPO UP] or [TEMPO DOWN] switches to adjust the tempo that is dis- played in the upper left of the main page. Alternatively, you can set the tempo by pressing the [TAP TEMPO] switch twice or more in time with the tempo of the song.

The tempo range is =40–240. (☞ p.39)

On the SP-500, tempo is displayed as the number of quarter notes per minute. If you select “6/8” as the time signature, you must input half the value of the “actual” (8th note) tempo.

Example: For =96, set this to “48”.
