Introduction

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano

The instrument has a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is a convenient tool 
for practice.

1.

Press the METRONOME [ON/OFF] button to start the 
metronome.

Adjusting the tempo

Press the TEMPO [DOWN] or [UP] button to call up the tempo in the display.

To adjust the tempo (number of beats per minute: 5 – 500), use the TEMPO 
[DOWN]/[UP] or the D [–]/[+] buttons. To reset the tempo to the default setting 
(120), press the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons or the D [–] and [+] buttons 
simultaneously.
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the Voice display.

2.

Press the METRONOME [ON/OFF] button to stop the 
metronome.

You can specify the Touch Response (how the sound responds to the way you play the keys). You should 
adjust this setting according to the specific Voice you’re playing or the particular Song you’re performing, as 
desired. For information about how to make settings, refer to “Other settings — [FUNCTION]” on page 68.
