The Metronome & Tempo Control

The YPP-100 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using 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 [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons while holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. You can set the beat to 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (the current setting appears on the LED display while the METRONOME [START/STOP] button is held). Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] 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 29.

Tempo Control
The tempo of the metronome and user song recorder playback (the recorder is described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per minute by using the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN, UP] buttons. The selected tempo will appear on the LED display while in the normal play mode and while the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN, UP]buttons are being used to adjust the tempo in the recording/playback mode. The default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when the recorder contains data and the playback track indicator is lit) can be recalled by simultaneously pressing the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons.
