Using the Metronome and Rhythm (Rhythm Partner)

The KR features a built-in metronome. Additionally, you can have Rhythm patterns play, in the same manner as the metronome, just by pressing the [Rhythm] button.

The combination of the internal metronome and rhythm functions is called “Rhythm Partner.”

During playback of a song, or when performing with automatic accompaniment, the sound of the metronome keeps time with the beat of the song or accompaniment.

Using the Metronome

1.Press the [Metronome] button and watch the indicator light up.

You will hear the metronome.

The following “Metronome screen” appears.

You can touch <Exit> to have the metronome continue to play while you return to the previous screen.

Stopping the metronome

2. Press the [Metronome] button once more, and the indicator light goes

out.

It is not possible to use the metronome and rhythm (p. 56) simultaneously.
