The Metronome & Tempo Control The CLP-411/511 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. METRONOME Beat indicator METRONOME TEMPO/ SONG - / NO +/ YES The Metronome The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing the [METRONOME] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the current tempo. Metronome Volume The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted by using the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding the [METRONOME] button. The volume range is from 1 through 20 (the current volume setting appears on the LED display while the [METRONOME] button is held). A setting of "1" produces minimum sound, while a setting of "20" produces maximum metronome volume. Press the [-/NO] and [+/ YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the [METRONOME] button to recall the default setting: "10". Other Metronome Functions The time signature ("beat") of the metronome can be changed via the metronome "Beat" function in the Function mode - page 25. The Function mode also has an alternative method for adjusting the metronome volume - page 25. TEMPO/ SONG - / NO +/ YES Tempo Control The tempo of the metronome and recorder playback (the recorder is described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per minute by using the [TEMPO/SONG t/s] buttons. The [t] button decreases the tempo and the [s] button increases the tempo. The selected tempo appears on the LED display in the normal play mode and while the [TEMPO/SONG t/s] buttons are being used to adjust the tempo. The default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when the recorder contains data and the playback track lamp is lit) can be recalled by simultaneously pressing the [t] and [s] buttons. 16
