1P PROGRAMMING THE METRONOME

When playing back or recording segments, you can program the metronome for a variety of different beats. The metronome produces an accented click on the first beat of each measure and a softer click on the other beats.

1.The SP-12 must be stopped (RUN/STOP light off), and the SEGMENT light must be on.

2.Press METRONOMES The Right Arrow and Left Arrow buttons step through the various metronome options:

Off	no metronome output
1/4	quarter notes (this is the default value)
1/4 t quarter note triplets
1/8	eighth notes
1/8 t eighth note triplets
1/16	sixteenth notes
1/16 t sixteenth note triplets
1/32	thirty-second notes
1/32 t thirty-second note triplets
Click	sends a 24 pulses-per-quarter-note signal out the rear channel MET
	OUT jack for synchronizing other devices to the SP-12.

3. When the display shows the desired metronome value, press ENTER.

Note: The higher metronome speeds are useful when recording a fast, complex drum part since you may slow the tempo way down, yet still have clicks occurring regularly enough so that you know where you are in the segment. (If the tempo is very slow and you select, for example, quarter note clicks, the clicks occur too far apart to be helpful.)
