T1: Mute Counting Mode

Mute Count Mode is a timing exercise designed to develop and learn ‘internal’ timing. In this mode, the metronome will play at the set volume
level for the first four measures then play the second four measures at a muted volume. The four-measure cycle of loud and muted counts will

continue until ‘Play’ button is pressed to stop.
Press ‘Train’ to choose T1 mode.
Press ‘Sel.’ To enter edit mode: Beat (0-6), Tempo (30-260bpm), Rhythm. Then press or to adjust parameters.
Press ‘Play’ to start and stop metronome.

T2: Gradual Up/Down Mode

Practice in ‘Gradual Up/Down’ mode is designed to increase stamina and endurance by gradually increasing and decreasing the tempo. The
speed increases by 1 BPM every two beats until the maximum metronome value is reached. Once you hit the maximum value, the speed
decreases by 1 BPM every two beats until you return to the original tempo. The process is then repeated. When ‘pattern’ is selected, the speed
changes by 1 BPM every two measures.

Press ‘Train’ to choose T2 mode.
Press ‘Sel.’ To enter the edit mode: Beat (0-6), Tempo (30-260bpm), Rhythm. Then press or to adjust parameters.
Press ‘Play’ to start and stop metronome.

T3: Step Up/Down Mode

Step Up/Down mode is designed to increase playing endurance by slowly increasing and decreasing the speed of the metronome. In this mode,
the metronome’s tempo will increase by 5 BPM after every four measures until it reaches the metronome’s maximum tempo. After the
maximum tempo is achieved, the metronome’s tempo will decrease by 5 BPM after every four measures. This will continue until it reaches the

metronome’s starting tempo and then repeats the process.
Press ‘Train’ to choose T3 mode.
Press ‘Sel.’ to enter the edit mode: Beat (0-6), Tempo (30-260bpm), Rhythm. Then press or to adjust parameters.
