Keeping time with a metronome.
How to set the tempo, the beats in a bar and the clicks between beats, and how to practise with a metronome from slow to fast.
By Suraj Kumar2 min read
Start slower than you think, and let the click do the counting.
Set it.
Choose the beats a minute with the stepper or a chip, the beats in a bar (2/4 to 7/8), and press Start; the bar's first beat is higher.
Between the beats.
Under More options, add eighths, triplets or sixteenths to hear the beat divided.
Practising.
Play a passage cleanly at a slow tempo, then raise it a few beats at a time.
