To set a metronome time signature, press
the [FUNCTION] key and when its LED
flashes press the [REC - TIME SIGNATURE]
key.
5. Set the metronome value.
Use the timbre keys to select the time
signature desired. The correspondence with
the values is as follows:
- [PIANO] key: value 1/4;
- [EL.PIANO] key: value 2/4;
- [HARPSI] key: value 3/4;
- [NY.GUITAR] key: value 4/4;
- [STRINGS] key: value 5/4;
- [CHOIR] key: value 7/4;
- [PIPE] key: value 3/8;
- [EL.ORGAN] key: value 6/8.
Once the value has been selected the
LEDs of the key of the selected value and
that of the [REC-TIME SIGNATURE] key will
illuminate for about two seconds, after which
they will go out, leaving the [FUNCTION] key
LED flashing.
Press this key to exit from the function.
10. USING THE RECORDER
The Allegro has a built-in recorder which allows you to record your performances and then play
them back. The recording feature provides useful backup for anyone learning to play the piano,
so they can re-examine their performances from the impersonal point of view of an outside
listener. It can also just be fun.
You may use any timbre to play any kind of music you like to record; any setting made to your
performance is memorized and set for the playback.
1. Begin recording.
Before starting to record, make all the
necessary initial settings (selection of the
timbre, or timbres in case of the Layer mode,
selection of the effects, volume, setting, etc.).
To start recording, press the REC key and
start to play. The key LED will remain
constantly on, except for a brief switch-off
coinciding with the down-beat.
To stop recording, press the REC key
again.
N.B.: Every recording automatically wipes the
preceding recording.
