or length of one beat)

2 Use the dial to select the number of beats per measure.

When the Bell setting is on, the Bell will sound on the first beat of each measure, while a metronome “click” will sound on all others. You can set the time signature from 01 to 60. Select 3 for this example.

NOTE

When playing the Song or Style the beat value cannot be changed, since the beat is synchronized to the selected Song or Style.

3 Press the CATEGORY [>] button once to call up the Time Signature Denominator display.

4 Use the dial to select a beat length.

Select the required length for each beat: 2, 4, 8, or 16 (half note, quarter note, eighth note, or 16th note). For this example, select 8. The time signature should now be set to 3/8.
