Using the Metronome
You can use the Metronome instead of a style if desired. This allows you to keep
your performance “in time,” even when recording without rhythmic accompani-
ment. To do this, press the METRONOME button before recording in step #5 below.
After the song is completely recorded, simply play back the song with the Metro-
nome turned off.
4
Select a track number.
Press the SONG MEMORY button corresponding to the desired track. (This
step is optional; the PortaTone automatically selects the first available track.
When there is no song data, track 1 is automatically selected.)
