The Easy Way To Play Piano Quick Guide

Change the Song Tempo

When using the performance assistant technology or in other situations in which the tempo of the song is too fast or too slow for you, you can change the tempo as required. Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button. The tempo display will appear and you can use the dial, the [+] and [-] buttons, or the [0] – [9] number buttons to set to tempo to anywhere from 032 and 280 quarter-note beats per minute.

You can also set the tempo by simply tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button at the required tempo – 4 times for time sig- natures in 4, and three times for time signatures in 3. You can change the tempo during song playback by pressing the button just twice.

You can return to the original tempo by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [-] buttons. When you’re done with the tempo setting press [EXIT] twice to return to the MAIN display.

The demo song will automatically repeat from the beginning after it has played all the way through.

You can stop demo playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
