Auto Accompaniment

Using the Metronome

The built-in metronome produces a bell sound for the first beat of each measure and a click sound for the remaining beats of the measure. The metronome is the perfect tool for practicing without accompaniment parts (rhythm).

NOTE

The metronome sound is actually a type of rhythm. Because of this, you cannot sound the metronome at the same time another rhythm is sounding.

Accompaniment sounds (chords, bass, etc.) do not sound while a metronome rhythm is being used, even if the MODE button setting is CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD. Because of this, you should press the MODE button until all of the lamps are off.

1Press the METRONOME button.

• This selects a 4-beat metronome.
