Match the Tempo Before You Begin Playing (Count In)

When you’re playing along with a song, you can listen to the tempo before you start playing by adding a count-in.

This audible count before the song playback is called a “Count-In.”

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

The Metronome screen (p. 52) appears.

If you are not using the metronome, press the [Metronome] button so its indicator goes out.

2. Touch <Count In>.

The following “Count In settings screen” appears.

3. Touch <Switch> to set this to “ON.”

With this setting, two measures count down before the song playback starts.

Cancelling the Count In

You can have a count sound be played before the song starts playing back by holding down the [Reset] button while you press the [Play/Stop] button.The status of the <Count In> settings won’t be affected by your use of this procedure.
