The Metronome & Tempo Control The P-80 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording with the User Song Recorder feature, described in the next section. The Metronome The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the current tempo. Metronome Time Signature The time signature (beat) of the metronome can be set by using the [-/NOM] and [+/YESL] buttons while holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4 or 6 (the current setting appears on the LED display while the METRONOME [START/STOP] button is held). Press the [-/NOM] and [+/YESL] buttons simultaneously while holding the METRONOME [START/ STOP] button to recall the default setting "0" (no accent). Metronome Volume Function The volume of the metronome sound can be adjusted via the Metronome Volume function in the Function mode-page 31.
