Changing the Tempo Setting
There are two different methods you can use to change
the tempo setting: by pressing
ck
(q) (faster) and
ck
(w) (slower) buttons or by tapping a beat with a
button.
■ To adjust the tempo using
ck
(TEMPO, w,
q)
buttons
1. Use the
ck
(TEMPO, w, q) buttons to
adjust the tempo setting.
Each press of a button increases or decreases the beats
per minute value by one.
• Holding down either button changes the value at
high speed.
• You can specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to
255.
■ To adjust the tempo by tapping a beat
1. Tap the
ck
(TEMPO, TAP) button four times
in time with the beat you want to specify.
• The tempo setting will change in accordance with the
timing of your tapping.
• After you use this method to specify the approximate
tempo, you can then use the procedure under “To
adjust the tempo using
ck
(TEMPO, w, q)
buttons” to adjust the setting to a more exact value.
Adjusting the Metronome Volume
You can use the following procedure to adjust the
volume level of the metronome, without affecting the
volume of Digital Piano output.
1. While holding down the
cs
(FUNCTION)
button, press the
3
(METRONOME) button.
This displays the metronome volume screen.
2. Use the
ct
(w, q) buttons to adjust the
metronome volume.
3. Press the
cs
(FUNCTION) button.
This will exit the metronome volume screen and cause
the FUNCTION lamp to go out.
NOTE
• You also can use the procedure under “Metronome
Volume” (page E-44) to adjust the metronome
volume.
You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of
notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This
capability makes it possible to reproduce saxophone
and electric guitar choking effects.
Adding a Pitch Bend Effect
1. While playing a note on the
keyboard, rotate the pitch bend
wheel on the left of the keyboard
upwards or downwards.
The amount the note bends depends on
how much you rotate the pitch bend
wheel.
• Do not have the pitch bend wheel
rotated as you turn on the Digital Piano.
NOTE
• You also can configure pitch bend wheel operation
by specifying the amount of pitch change at
maximum rotation in either direction. See “Pitch
Bend Range” (page E-46) for more information.
