Using the Practice Functions

This changes the song and Music Style tempos.
If songs seem difficult to play at their original speed, you may find it helpful to first practice with the tempo slowed down. Then, after
becoming more familiar with the song, you can practice it at a gradually faster tempo.
Changing the tempo has no effect on the pitch of the notes. And you can change the tempo even when the song is in progress.

1.

Adjusting the Tempo with the Tempo [Slow] [Fast] buttons.

Pressing the Tempo [Slow] [Fast] buttons simultaneously returns the selected Music Style or song to the basic tempo.
The value of the tempo currently set (10–500 beats per minute) can be checked in the screen.
You can specify the tempo by pressing the pedal at the desired interval. This function is called “Tap Tempo.”
By using the Tap Tempo function, you can quickly set the tempo you are thinking of, without specifying the tempo in numerical terms.
