Using Built-in Tones

Changing the Tempo Setting

There are two different methods you can use to change the tempo setting: by pressing q (faster) and w (slower) buttons or by tapping a beat with a button.

■To adjust the tempo using q and w buttons

1. Use the  (TEMPO w, q) buttons to adjust the tempo setting.

Each press of a button increases or decreases the beats per minute value by one.

•Holding down either button changes the value at high speed.

•You can specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to 255.

Tempo value

■To adjust the tempo by tapping a beat

1. While holding down the  (FUNCTION) button, tap the q  (TEMPO) button four times in time with the beat you want to specify.

•The tempo setting will change in accordance with the timing of your tapping.

•After you use this method to specify the approximate tempo, you can then use the procedure under “To adjust the tempo using q and w buttons” to adjust the setting to a more exact value.

Tap four times

Adjusting the Metronome Volume

You can use the following procedure to adjust the volume level of the metronome, without affecting the volume of Digital Piano output.

1. While holding down the  (FUNCTION) button, press the (METRONOME) button.

This displays the metronome volume screen.

2. Use the  (w, q) buttons to adjust the metronome volume.

3. Press the  (FUNCTION) button.

This will exit the metronome volume screen and cause the FUNCTION lamp to go out.

NOTE

•You also can use the procedure under “Metronome Volume” (page E-41) to adjust the metronome volume.

Playing a Duet

You can use the Duet Mode to split the Digital Piano’s keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet. This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for example, the teacher can play on the left and the student can follow along on the right. Or one person can play the left hand part on the left, while another plays the right hand part on the right.
