If you change the style before playing, the tempo will be set to that style’s default value. If you change style
during play, the tempo will keep its current value. Press the
TEMPO +/-
buttons simultaneously to reset the
tempo to the default value of the current style.
The Symphony includes a built-in metronome. Press the
METRONOME
button to start the metronome.
Its LED indicator will light up and the “Metronome” menu will appear on the display. Use the
+/YES
and
–/NO
buttons within three seconds after the metronome has been engaged to choose the beat pattern: 1/4,
2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 6/8 or 12/8. After three seconds, the display will revert to the selected Voice. Use the
ACCOMP VOLUME
slider to adjust the metronome level. Use the
TEMPO +/-
buttons to adjust the tempo of
the metronome. The current tempo will be shown on the display for 3 seconds. During that time, you can also
use the number pad to enter a new tempo value between 40 and 240. Press the
METRONOME
button again to
stop the metronome.
If you select a new accompaniment style or play a practice song, the beat and tempo of the metronome will be
set automatically to the beat and tempo of that style/song.
NOTE: If the metronome is enabled while the auto-accompaniment is playing, the metronome sound will replace the
Drum part of the accompaniment style.

TEMPO +/-

During that time, you can also use the number pad to enter a new tempo value
between 40 and 240.
