Yamaha 205M User Manual

The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and 
check how a specific tempo sounds.

The metronome starts by pressing the METRONOME [START/STOP] 
button. Adjust the tempo by using the TEMPO[

] buttons (see below).

To stop the metronome, press the [START/STOP] button again.

This section shows you to adjust the playback tempo — which not only affects the metronome, but also the playback of 
a song or an accompaniment style.

default (initial) tempo 
settings, designed to best 
suit the song/style.

Press either the TEMPO [

button or the [

] button.

Adjust the tempo by using either the TEMPO [

] buttons or the [DATA ENTRY] dial.

The number in the display indicates how many 
quarter-note beats there are in one minute. The 
range is between 5 and 500. The higher the value, 
the faster the tempo.

When you change the tempo, both tempos of the 
current song and style will be changed to the same 
tempo. To restore their respective default (initial) 
tempo settings, press both the TEMPO [

] 

buttons simultaneously. Also refer to the “Tempo 
Indications — MAIN display” (page 52) for more 
about tempo.
