The following three methods are available when you want to
change the tempo.
 Increasing or decreasing using the
[TEMPO+] or [TEMPO–] button
• Each time you press the [TEMPO+] button, you
increase the metronome BPM by one.
• Each time you press the [TEMPO–] button, you
decrease the metronome BPM by one.
 Directly inputting a BPM using the number
buttons
1. While holding the [] button, enter the BPM using
the number buttons.
Example: Setting a tempo of 138 BPM
Press the number buttons in the sequence
[1][3][8].
2. After entering all necessary digits, remove your fin-
ger from the [] button.
The drum module will speak the new tempo to you
(in English).
 Tapping the tempo on the pads
1. While holding the [] button, strike a pad at least
three times at the desired tempo.
2. Remove your finger from the [] button.

Adjusting the Tempo
 Increase or decrease using the [TEMPO+] or
[TEMPO–] button
 Direct input of a BPM using the number but-
tons
 Setting a new tempo using pads (tap tempo)
• The drum module supports tempos between 30 and 300 BPM.
• If you select a different song (page 25) after adjusting the tempo,
the selected song’s tempo will be used for the metronome.
NOTE
Hold
• Number button [10/0] is used to enter the value zero.
You cannot use it to enter the number ten.
Example: Setting a tempo of 110 BPM
Press the number buttons in the sequence
[1][1][10/0].
You cannot do this by pressing [1][10/0].
• There is no need to enter a zero first in order to set a
two-digit tempo.
Example:
To set a tempo of 72 BPM, simply press the num-
ber buttons in the sequence [7][2]. You do not
need to press [0][7][2].
• Whenever the drum module is speaking the tempo, you
can enter a new tempo directly using the number but-
tons but without having to hold down the [ ] button.
Instead of using a pad, you can also tap the tempo by
pressing the [TEMPO+] or [TEMPO–] button at least
three times.
