Introduction
Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano
This instrument features a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is convenient for
practicing.
1.
Start the metronome.
The metronome sound is turned on by pressing the
[METRONOME] button.
Adjusting the tempo
Press the [TEMPO/FUNCTION] button (the indicator lights). The tempo
of the metronome can be set from 5 to 500 beats per minute by using the
[TEMPO/FUNCTION
] buttons.
The default setting (120) can be recalled by pressing both the [
] and [
]
buttons simultaneously.
Adjusting the time signature
The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be
set by simultaneously holding down the
[METRONOME] button and using the
[-/NO]/[+/YES] buttons. You can set the beat from 0
to 15. The current setting appears on the display while the
[METRONOME] button is held.
The first beat is accented with a bell sound and the rest with clicks. When
the time signature is set to “0,” clicks sound on all beats.
The default setting (0) can be recalled by pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES]
buttons together while holding down the [METRONOME] button.
2.
Stop the metronome.
Turn off the metronome by pressing the [METRONOME] button.
