METRONOME The DM6 module has a built-in metronome feature, for which you can adjust the tempo, time signature, volume, and "click" sound. ADJUSTING THE TEMPO To adjust the tempo of a pattern: 1. Select a Pattern (see PATTERNS section). 2. Press TEMPO to enter Tempo Adjustment Mode. The LCD will display the current tempo value for that Pattern. The metronome's range is 30 - 280 BPM ("beats per minute"). 3. Use VALUE +/- to adjust the tempo of that Pattern. You can press + and - simultaneously to return to the Pattern's default tempo. SELECTING THE TIME SIGNATURE & ADJUSTING THE VOLUME To select the time signature the metronome will follow: 1. Press CLICK to activate the metronome. The LCD will display the current time signature. There are nine different time signatures to choose from: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 3/8, and 6/8. 2. Use VALUE +/- to select a time signature. The Click Indicator will flash in time with the beat of your selected Pattern, whether or not the metronome is activated (i.e., audible). SELECTING A METRONOME SOUND To select the "click" sound the metronome will make: 1. Press and hold CLICK. The LCD will display "CL1," "CL2," "CL3," or "CL4." 2. Use VALUE +/- to select a click sound. You can choose from a standard metronome "click" (the default), a "beep," a cowbell, or a voice. 3
