Changing the Metronome Interval
To change the metronome's note division (the note value it measures with each click):
1. Press the Click button and 3 button simultaneously.
2. The Display will show the current interval. Use the – / + buttons to select a
new interval: 2 (half note), 3 (triplet), 4 (quarter note), 6 (sextuplet), 8 (eighth
note), or 16 (sixteenth note). The default is 4.
3. Wait 4 seconds. The drum module will automatically save the new setting.

accuracy, stamina, and sense of tempo: Beat Check, Gradual Up/Down, Rhythm Change Up,
Follow Me, and Drum Mute.

Then, press the 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 button that corresponds to the exercise you want to do. The Display

3. Rhythm Change Up (C-U)

and 4 buttons light up.

or 5 button will light up.
When you are off the beat, the 1 or
Variation button will light up.
