(Metronome) will
start.
1. Hold down the [STANDBY] button and make your choice by hitting the relative pad or by turning

• As described in “Metronome (Click) Sound Settings (PHRASE LOOP SETUP-CLICK)” (p. 51), you can make settings such as
“sounding the click only on the rst pass of the loop,” changing the type of click sound, or adjusting the click volume.
