9. THE METRONOME
The metronome incorporated in the Allegro is a very convenient aid when practising and gives a
reliable rhythmic guide when you wish to use the recording function desired in the next section.

1. Select the METRONOME SETTING
function.
To activate the metronome, press the
[FUNCTION] key and when its LED flashes
press the [PLAY-METRONOME SETTING]
key.
At this point, the timbre LEDs will show the
latest setting made.
2. Set the metronome mode.
You may use the first four timbre keys to
select the metronome operating mode, which
may be:
- [PIANO] key: OFF
- [EL.PIANO] key: REC (during recording
only)
- [HARPSI] key: REC & PLAY (during both
recording and playback)
- [NY.GUITAR] key: ALWAYS
3. Set the metronome speed.
The metronome speed of your choice can
be set using the part of the keyboard
between C1 and A1 inclusive, as shown in
the diagram on the left. The permitted values
are from 035 to 250.
The instrument will not take note of your
selection until you have selected three
figures.
After the third key (third figure) is pressed,
the LED of the [PLAY - METRONOME
SETTING] key will remain on for two seconds
and then go out.
Press the [FUNCTION] key again to exit
from the function.
N.B.: If you set a speed value of less than
100, remember that the value selected on the
keyboard must always consist of three
figures.
For example, if you wish to set the
metronome speed at 63, select 063, i.e.
press keys C1 - F#1 - D#1.
