Playing the Disklavier along with the Internal Metronome

The beats of the metronome help you play the Disklavier with a steady tempo. The tempo, the meter (beat), and the volume of the click can be adjusted.

Note: The [Tempo] value indicates the number of beats in a minute, and one beat represents a quarter note. When you play a song written in different measure unit, convert the unit to quarter note (e.g. When playing a song in 3/2, set [Beat] to 6/4).

A maximum of two voices sound in unison with the right-hand part that you play and one voice does with the left-hand part. You can also mute the piano sound to your preference.
