Playing Back a Audio File as a Click
(Click Track)
You can use an audio le (WAV) separate from the song for the click,
and play it back as the click (click track).
Since the click track plays simultaneously with the song, this is useful
when you want to play a click sound along with the songs you like.
* To play back a click track, you must prepare a song as well as an
audio le to use for the click, both in WAV format. MP3 les are not
supported.
Getting the click track audio le ready
1. Have ready an audio le (WAV le) to play back as the
click track.
2. On your computer, edit the le name of the le that
you prepared in step 1.
Specify “song le name+_Click” as the name of the audio le to
play as the click track.
Example:
To play the click track along with a song named “TD-50X.wav,”
specify “TD-50X_Click.wav” as the name of the click audio le.
3. Save the click audio le in the same directory as the
song that’s on the SD card (p. 53).
In the example above, you would save “TD-50X.wav” and “TD-50X_
Click.wav” in the same directory.
Playing the click track along with the song
1. On the SONG screen, press the [F2] (SD CARD) button
(p. 18).
2. Use the [R2] knob, [-] [+] buttons or the dial to select
the song that you want to play back along with the
click track.
In the example above, select the song “TD-50X.wav.”
3. Press the [F5] button to specify “CLICK ON.”
4. Press the [
s
] button.
The click track plays back together with the song.
To adjust the click track volume, turn the [CLICK] knob.
In the example above, use the [SONG] knob to adjust the volume
of “TD-50X.wav,” and use the [CLICK] knob to adjust the volume of
“TD-50X_Click.wav.”

Rhythm Training

These modes help you to practice as eectively as possible.

Correctly Playing in Time with the
Beat

1. In the TIME CHECK screen, press the [F5] (START)
button.

button.
2. Strike the pad in time with the click.
The percentage of your strikes that
were played with accurate timing is
displayed as a “%” value.
The screen indicates whether your pad strikes
match the beat sounded by the click.

Your strike timing is evaluated.
