Practicing
This function lets you practice playing while you change the
length of the notes. This is an effective way to practice change-
ups, or to improve your feel for note lengths.
The metronome’s rhythm type will change every two measures;
strike the pads in time with the sounds. You’ll start with half
notes, the note value will gradually become shorter, and then
you’ll return to half notes and continue repeating.
You can make the following settings.
As an alternative to pressing the [ (metronome)] button, you
can also start by turning the select knob to choose “[START].”
How to practice
When you start, the timer will start and there will be a two-
measure count-in.
After the count-in, strike the pad in time with the
metronome.
During the practice, the elapsed time will be displayed.
Even while practicing, you can change the tempo by turning
the select knob.
When you’re finished practicing
When you’re finished practicing, press the
[ (metronome)] button to stop the metronome and
return to the menu name screen.
This function lets you practice while the tempo gets faster and
slower. Raising and lowering the tempo will improve your
endurance.
The metronome’s value will start from the minimum value and
increase in steps of one. When it reaches the maximum value, it
will decrease to the minimum value in steps of one. This will
continue repeating.
