The Metronome & Tempo Control
The YDP-88II built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it
can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the Recorder
feature, described below.

The Metronome

The metronome sound is turned on and off via the [METRO-
NOME] button. Press the [METRONOME] button so that its indicator
lights to turn the metronome on, then again so the indicator goes out to
turn the metronome off.
Metronome Volume......................................................................................
The volume of the metronome sound can be independently adjusted
by using the [TEMPO] control while holding the [METRONOME]
button. Sliding the control to the right increases the metronome volume.
Metronome Time Signature .................................................................
The time signature of the metronome sound can be set by pressing
the appropriate voice selector button while holding the [METRO-
NOME] button, as follows:
[METRONOME] + [PIANO] No accent (default)
[METRONOME] + [E. PIANO 1] 2 time
[METRONOME] + [E. PIANO 2] 3 time
[METRONOME] + [HARPSICHORD] 4 time
[METRONOME] + [ORGAN] 6 time

Tempo Control

The tempo of the metronome and recorder playback can be con-
trolled in two ways:
■Use the panel [TEMPO] control to set the required tempo from 32
to 280 quarter-note beats per minute.
■For more precise tempo settings press the appropriate key on the
keyboard while holding the [METRONOME] button.
