This exercise improves your familiarity with rhythmic figures and sense of timing without a metronome. The
metronome will play a rhythmic figure for one, two, four, or eight measures. For the following one, two, four,
or eight measures (respectively), the metronome will be muted while you play the rhythm yourself. This cycle
will repeat until you stop the exercise.
This exercise has four levels of difficulty:
F-1: one-measure cycle
F-2: two-measure cycle
F-3: four-measure cycle
F-4: eight-measure cycle
GRADUAL UP / DOWN
This exercise helps improve your stamina and timing by gradually increasing the tempo of a rhythmic figure
then decreasing it to the original tempo. This cycle will repeat until you stop the exercise.
Assign the original (minimum) tempo of the exercise before beginning by pressing TEMPO / TAP and using
VALUE +/- to adjust the tempo. Assign the maximum tempo of the exercise during the exercise by pressing
TEMPO / TAP when the exercise has reached the highest tempo you want. The rate at which the tempo
increases is as follows:
G-1: The tempo will increase/decrease by 1 BPM each beat.
G-2: The tempo will increase/decrease by 1 BPM every two beats.
G-3: The tempo will increase/decrease by 2 BPM every eight measures.
G-4: The tempo will increase/decrease by 5 BPM every eight measures.
G-5: The tempo will increase/decrease by 5 BPM after every eight
measures you play correctly.
COUNT
This exercise has two modes to help improve your speed.
available options with the VALUE +/- buttons.
Fixed Time: You can select a fixed amount of time – 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds – to hit
the pad as many times as you can. After a one-measure count-in, the designated amount of time will
be represented by the metronome needle "meter" (as time remaining). The number of times you hit the
pad will be counted and shown at the top of the LCD.
Fixed Hits: You can select the number of times you need to hit the pad – 200 times, 500 times, or
1,000 times – while you are being timed. After a one-measure count-in, the designated number of
times you need to hit the pad will be represented by the metronome needle "meter" (as hits remaining).
The amount of time you take to hit the pad for the designated number of times will be shown on the
LCD.
After you are done with either of these exercises, you may press VALUE +/- to exit the exercise or START /
STOP to repeat it.
After selecting "Count," toggle through all
