Using the metronome
Your FR-1 contains a metronome that may come in handy when you are practising new
pieces, or during your accordion classes.
■
Setting the time signature
To set the time signature, proceed as fol-
lows:
(1) Before changing this value, it might
be a good idea to switch the metro-
nome on by pressing the
[METRONOME÷INC]
H
button (it
lights).
(2) Press and hold the
[SET]
register until it
starts flashing.
The Treble keyboard can now be used to
select the desired function.
(3) Press the G#2 key or
button number
“10”.
The
[SET]
E
register
flashes rapidly, and
the Treble keyboard
can once again be
used to play notes.
(4) Use registers
[1]
~
[4]
F
to select one of the following set-
tings.
Alternatively, use the
[DEC]
or
[INC]
H
button to select a setting that cannot
be set by pressing one of the regis-
ters.
Note: Press the
[DRUMS/DEFAULT]
I
button
or register
[3]
to return to the factory setting
of the currently selected parameter.
(5) Press the
[SET]
E
register once (so that
it flashes slowly) and proceed with the
next parameter.
(Press the
[SET]
register twice to leave the
FR-1’s FUNCTION mode.)
■
Setting the tempo
We’ll assume that you are still in “FUNC-
TION” mode (
[SET]
E
flashes slowly). To
set this parameter at a later stage, press
and hold the
[SET]
register until it starts
flashing slowly.
(1) Press the G2 key (i.e. the lowest G) or
button “9”. See the owner’s manual
for the location.
The
[SET]
register now flashes rapidly, and
the Treble keyboard can once again be
used to play notes.
Note: You can also select this parameter by
pressing and holding the
[METRONOME÷INC]
H
button.
(2) Use registers
[1]
~
[4]

to select one of
the following suggested values.
