8.3 SWITCHING ON AND SETTING THE METRONOME
The Prestige sequencer features its own metronome, activated by pressing the [METRONOME]
button in the group of sequencer buttons. The LED of the key displays the function’s status: when
the LED is lit, the metronome is on. The metronome speed can be set by means of the TEMPO
parameter in the sequencer video pages (both Record and Play), while the downbeat will depend on
the Time Signature setting. To set up the metronome’s internal parameters, keep the [METRONOME]
button pressed for a few moments. The following video page will be displayed:
METRONOME
Vol:70
Precount:-1
Time signature value:4/4
containing the following parameters:
o
VOL: regulates the metronome’s volume.
o
PRECOUNT: sets the number of Precount bars, meaning the number of bars after which the
sequencer will start to record.
o
TIME SIGNATURE VALUE: sets the time signature to be used for making a recording, or
for playing back a sequence recorded earlier. The possible values are: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 7/
4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8.
Then press [EXIT] to save the new settings and return to display of the sequencer video page.
