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

A chime will sound on the first beat of each measure while the other beats will click. All beats will simply click with no chime at the beginning of each measure if you set this parameter to “00”.

The available range is from 0 through 60. Select 5 for this example.

The currently selected beat length will be dis- played.
