TIPS
• The total number of measures can be changed to
any number from 2 to 10.
While the exercise is on standby or during the exer-
cise, hold down the number button until the key is
half-lit.
For example, to repeat ten measures, hold down
the number button [10] until the number button [10]
is half-lit.
• The number of measures with the metronome clicks
can be changed.
While the exercise is on standby or during the exer-
cises, press the number button corresponding to
the number of measures you would like to set. Keep
in mind, however, that the last measure of this exer-
cise is always set to be without the metronome.
For example, by pressing the number button [6]
while the total number of measures is set to 10,
measures 1 to 6 are counted with the metronome,
and measures 7 to 10 are without the metronome.
• The exercise time can be adjusted. (Menu Mode
“Timer”; page 51.)
