Rhythm Training (QUIET COUNT)
The TD-50 provides a “Quiet Count” function that’s an ideal way to
develop your sense of tempo.
Quiet count is a training function that helps you keep the tempo
on your own. For the rst several measures, the click sounds
at the specied volume, but for the next several measures the
volume decreases, becoming nearly inaudible. This cycle of several
measures continues until you stop the function.
1. In the CLICK screen (p. 14), press the [F4] (QUIET CNT)
button to start training.
5 The click will sound during the rst few measures. When you
reach the last measure during which the click will sound, the
screen will indicate “Ready.”
5 When the click stops sounding, the screen indication will
change to “Quiet.” Continue striking the pads during this time.
5 After the Quiet region, the proportion of your strikes that were
played at an accurate tempo are shown as a “%” value.
2. To stop training, press the [F5] (STOP) button to return to
the CLICK screen.
