Basic Operation
Turning On the Click-Track
 Measure Break – Practice playing a fixed
rhythm
With the Measure Break function, you can automatically
mute and unmute the click-track for specific numbers of
measures. For example, if you were to use this function to
mute the click-track while you played a fill, you would
instantly know whether you played it too fast or too slow
when the click-track is then unmuted. As such, the Rhythm
Gate function provides a great way to practice playing com-
plete songs at a constant speed.
