Adjusting The Tempo; Selecting The Time Signature (Beat) - Yamaha TransAcoustic TA3 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the tempo

The metronome tempo can be set from 5 to 500 beats per minute. During Song playback (page 27), you can adjust the
tempo of a MIDI Song or the speed of an Audio Song by using the operation described below.
NOTE
• When a MIDI Song is being played back, the metronome plays back at the tempo and beat of the Song.
• When an Audio Song is being played back, this operation changes only the playback speed of the Song. The metronome tempo does
not change.
1
Press Button 1 [Metronome] in the UTILITY to call up the current tempo on the display.
2
Rotate the [VALUE] control to adjust the
tempo.
Pressing the [VALUE] control restores the default
setting (120).

Selecting the time signature (beat)

1
Press Button 1 [Metronome] in the UTILITY so that the lamp lights up in orange.
2
Hold down Button 1 [Metronome] for three
seconds to call up the beat setting value on
the display.
3
Rotate the [VALUE] control to select the beat.
The beat can be selected from 0 and 2–6. For values
other than 0, the first beat is accented with a bell sound
to signal the start of a measure. Pressing the [VALUE]
control restores the default setting (0; no 1st beat accent).
Pressing Button 1 [Metronome] displays the tempo value.
NOTE
One beat is equal to a quarter note on this instrument. When playing a song written in non-quarter-note units, change the setting
accordingly (for example, when playing a song in 3/2 time, set Beat to 6).
Hold down for three seconds.
