How to set metronome default.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the metronome on my pa4x so it will default to 4/4 at 110bpm every time I turn it on.
I haven’t been able to find anything in the manual or on internet search.

King regards.

Hey John

Sorry, can't quite figure why you would want this...unless...
...you sre wanting the PA4X ready to play your first song (style/tempo/sounds etc..) immediately after every power up.

The metronome will always be at the tempo and time signature of the currently selected style.

So, to answer your question:-

Yes, you can.
Just select a 4/4 style and change its tempo to 110
Press and hold the "My Setting" button and save it
Now that 4/4 style at 110 will be there after every power up, hence the metronome will match.

As soon as you select another style, the metronome will change to that style's tempo and time signature.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Pete,
Thanks for that mate. I knew there must be a way to do it but I couldn’t find it.

I’m still a learner Pete so always start my sessions with doing scales and it’s so fiddle setting the metronome to 4/4, 110 every time.

Kind regards.
John

It’s a frustrating reason Pete. 76 yrs old and learning scales. Bummer.
I only started learning to try helping my ten yr old daughter with her piano lessons a couple of years ago - but she’s way ahead of me now.
(I didn’t know piano at the time but I understand music. I played guitar by ear in a professional group in NZ for 30 years.) Now arthritis has taken that from me but strangely it doesn’t affect my efforts too much - apart from speed, on piano as my fingers can stay straighter. And I just love the rich Jazz chord sound I can get on piano.

Cheers Pete,
Old John
