Time Signature

The metronome can support the following time signatures:

2/2, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 12/8

‣To change the metronome’s time signature:

1	Press the Demo and
Function	Metronome buttons at the
	same time to enter Time
	Signature Edit Mode.
	The top line of the LCD will
	show: Time Sig: 4/4
DEMO	METRONOME

2	Use the Transpose Up or Down button to change the Time
	Signature.2

You step through the time signatures in the following order: 2/2, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 12/8

2 Note that you can use the Data Control knob instead of the Transpose Up/Down buttons to change the Time Signature.

✔NOTE: After pressing the Demo and Metronome buttons in Step 1, you will have three seconds to begin using the Transpose Up or Down buttons

(or the Data Control knob) to change the Time Signature. After three seconds, the piano goes back to Performance Mode (the basic “play the piano” setting), and the LCD goes back to its main screen. This three- second “Time Out” function is common to most of the editing functions of DCP-300.

‣To reset the Time Signature to its default value of 4/4:

While in Time Signature Edit Mode, press the Transpose Up and

Down buttons at the same time.

✔NOTE: Time signature and Tempo cannot be changed while recording a song. The time signature or tempo must be selected before starting to record.
