4) METRONOME

Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is important to practise playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a steady rhythm. The CN22 digital piano’s metronome function helps learners to achieve this by providing a steady beat to play along with.

‘STARTING THE METRONOME

… Step 1

Press the METRONOME button.

The LED indicator for the METRONOME button will turn on, and the metronome will begin counting with a 1/4 beat.

Hold down the button

…Step 2

Press the METRONOME button again.

The LED indicator for the METRONOME button will turn off, and the metronome will stop counting.

„The metronome is set to a default time signature of 1/4 and tempo of 120 each time the piano is turned on.

‘CHANGING THE METRONOME TIME SIGNATURE

The metronome produces two types of click, with a bell sound indicating the first beat of a bar - this is a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature. It is possible to select a different signature where appropriate. There are seven different types of time signature available: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, and 6/8.

The volume level of the metronome can also be changed.

…Step 1

Press and hold the METRONOME button, then select the desired time signature by pressing one of the lowermost black keys assigned to that beat.
