The Metronome & Tempo Control
The CLP-152S/153S built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also
provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the Recorder feature, described below.
The Metronome
The metronome sound is turned on and off via the [METRONOME]
button. Press the [METRONOME] button so that its indicator lights to turn
the metronome on, then again so the indicator goes out to turn the metro-
nome off.
The volume of the metronome sound can be independently adjusted by
using the [TEMPO] control while holding the [METRONOME] button.
Sliding the control to the right increases the metronome volume.
The time signature of the metronome sound can be set by pressing the
appropriate voice selector button while holding the [METRONOME] but-
ton, as follows:
