5.1.1. Instrument Settings

• When the needle is centered and the LED indicator (10) turns green, the note is in tune.
• If the needle is to the left, the note is flat. If to the right, the note is sharp.

The metronome provides a steady beat for rhythm practice. It offers a tempo range of 30-280 BPM and adjustable beat accents.
