Practicing
This function lets you view the force of your strikes as you
practice. This method of practicing is an effective way to make
the volume more consistent between your right hand and left
hand, and to improve the smoothness of your overall sound.
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. Strike the pad in time
with the metronome.
During the practice, the elapsed time will be displayed each
minute.
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.
The indication will be stronger if you strike near the
center of the pad.
If you use a sound for which the tuning (p. 25) is set to
“DYNA1” or “DYNA2,” your striking force will be
reflected by the sound as well as shown in the Dyna
Meter, thus letting you practice more effectively.
You can also access the tap tempo screen by pressing
the [COACH] button twice in succession when you’re
not in Coach mode.
This sets the metronome tempo (20–300) by the interval at which
you strike the pad. For example, you can set the metronome
tempo by striking the pad in time with the song you want to play.
The tempo you specify here will still be valid when you exit Coach
mode.
If you press the [ (metronome)] button or the select knob to
start the menu.
The display will indicate “Tap:” and the value will blink.
To change the value, strike the pad in quarter-note intervals of
the desired tempo. You can also change the value by turning the
select knob.
When you’ve specified the tempo, press the select knob to
finalize the value and refer to the menu name screen.
