Sounding a Click Tone in Synchronization with the
Song Tempo (Auto Tempo)
The auto tempo function sounds a click tone (metronome sound) in
synchronization with the tempo of an audio song being input from an
external source. This is very convenient when you want to practice along
with an audio song while also hearing a click.
5 Even if you don’t know the tempo of the original song, the tempo is
automatically detected and the click is synchronized.
5 Even if the original song does not contain drums or other rhythm
instruments, the tempo can be detected, and the click used instead of a
rhythm performance.
The auto tempo function can be used with a song that is being played in
the following three situations.
5 A song played back by a Bluetooth-connected mobile device (p. 13)
5 A song played back by an audio player connected to the Input Stereo jack
(p. 6)
5 A song played back by player software on a computer that’s connected to
the USB Computer port (p. 6)
In advance, connect your mobile device or computer to the piano using
the appropriate connection for your situation (via Bluetooth, an audio
cable, or a USB cable).
