YPP-200
The Metronome & Tempo Control
The YPP-200 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it
can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the User Song
Recorder feature, described in the next section.

The Metronome

The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing
the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. When on, the beat
indicator flashes at the current tempo.
Metronome Time Signature.................................................................
The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be set by using the
[–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding the METRONOME
[START/STOP] button. You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (the
current setting appears on the LED display while the METRONOME
[START/STOP] button is held). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
simultaneously while holding the METRONOME [START/STOP]
button to recall the default setting “0” (no accent).
Metronome Volume Function............................................................
The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted via the Metro-
nome Volume function in the Function mode—page 29.

Tempo Control

The tempo of the metronome and user song recorder playback (the
recorder is described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280
beats per minute by using the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons.
The selected tempo will appear on the LED display while in the normal
play mode and while the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons are
being used to adjust the tempo in the recording/playback mode. The
default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when the recorder
contains data and the playback track indicator is lit) can be recalled by
simultaneously pressing the [t] and [s] buttons.
