4) METRONOME

Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is important to practise playing the piano

at the correct tempo and with a steady rhythm. The CN23 digital piano’s metronome function helps learners to

achieve this by providing a steady beat to play along with.

‘

 STARTING THE METRONOME

…

 Step 1

Press the METRONOME button.

The LED indicator for the METRONOME button will turn on, and the metronome 

will begin counting with a 1/4 beat.

…

 Step 2

Press the METRONOME button again.

The LED indicator for the METRONOME button will turn off, and the metronome will stop counting.

„

 The metronome is set to a default time signature of 1/4 and tempo of 120 each time the piano is turned on.

‘

 CHANGING THE METRONOME TIME SIGNATURE

The metronome produces two types of click, with a bell sound indicating the fi rst beat of a bar - this is a 4-beat or 

4/4 time signature. It is possible to select a different signature where appropriate. There are seven different types 

of time signature available: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, and 6/8.

The volume level of the metronome can also be changed.

…

 Step 1

Press and hold the METRONOME button, then select the desired time signature by pressing one of the 
lowermost black keys assigned to that beat.

„

 When the 1/4 beat is selected, only the click sound will be heard.  The bell accent will not be heard.
