pressed, you can switch to Soft → Auto → Off → Soft...
Soft: Low-intensity lighting to prevent battery consumption.
Auto: The backlight will light brightly when sound is input and
when buttons are used. If a sound is not input or a button is not
pressed for 10 seconds, the backlight will automatically light up to
the soft setting brightness.
TIP: While using the timer, the backlight flashes when the speci-
fied time has elapsed.
TIP: In Training mode, the backlight lights brightly for about 10
seconds when the metronome stops.
Off: The backlight does not light up.
Metronome mode
To enter Metronome mode, press the RHYTHM/BEAT/PATTERN/
VOICE button.
Press the START/STOP button to start the metronome. To stop it, press
the START/STOP button again. In Metronome mode, you can change
the tempo, beat, rhythm, pattern and voice of the metronome.
Setting the tempo
There are three ways to set the tempo: using Pendulum Step, Full Step,
and Tap Tempo.
Pendulum Step and Full Step
Pendulum Step enables you to increase or decrease the tempo by the
same step as a mechanical metronome. Full Step enables you to in-
crease or decrease the tempo in one BPM increments.
Press the TEMPO/TAP TEMPO/SPLIT/RESET button to display
1.
the "TEMPO" indicator in the display.
Press and hold down the TEMPO/TAP TEMPO/SPLIT/RESET but-
2.
ton for one second to select Pendulum Step (the
appear). Press and hold down the TEMPO/TAP TEMPO/SPLIT/
RESET button again for one second to switch to Full step.
Press the ▼ or ▲ buttons to adjust the tempo value.
3.
Tap Tempo (Setting the tempo in sync with a song)
If you press the TEMPO/TAP TEMPO/SPLIT/RESET button repeatedly
with a specific BPM interval, the BEATLAB mini will detect the interval
and set the tempo accordingly. When the interval is detected, "TAP TEM-
PO" will flash in the display. The BEATLAB mini can detect tempo values
in the range of 30 to 300. You cannot set a tempo outside this range.
Setting the rhythm, beat, pattern and voice
Metronome settings for RHYTHM and BEAT can be specified. In ad-
dition, the metronome tone (VOICE) can be changed, and a drum pat-
tern (PATTERN) can be played back.
1. Press the RHYTHM/BEAT/PATTERN/VOICE button until "RHYTHM",
"BEAT", "PATTERN" or "VOICE" flashes in the display.
Use the ▼ or ▲ button to select the setting.
2.
TIP: The settings in Metronome mode will also be used in Training mode.
TIP: If you change the beat while the metronome is running, the beat
will change at the first beat of the next bar.
TIP: "PATTERN" appears only when voice setting "P" is selected.
The new pattern setting will be applied with the first beat of
the next bar. When voice setting "P" is selected, any beat and
rhythm setting specified using the procedure described above
will be canceled, and the pattern will be played back using the
voice specified for that pattern.
Training mode
To enter Training mode, press the TRAINING button.
The difference between the metronome beat and the input from the contact
microphone connected to the trigger jack will be measured. The degree of
deviation is indicated by sound during measurement, and the grade
and overall trend appear in the display after measurement.
Connecting and setting up the contact microphone
Make sure that the BEATLAB mini is turned off, and then plug the
1.
included contact microphone into the trigger jack.
button.
2. Attach the clip on the contact microphone to an object.
3. Turn on the BEATLAB mini, and then press the MODE/SENS/
button is
GRADE button until "SENS" flashes in the display.
Use the ▼ or ▲ button to set the trigger sensitivity. With a larger
4.
number, even weak vibrations will be picked up. After striking
the object (where the contact microphone is attached) using an
appropriate strength, set the trigger sensitivity so that the trigger
mark ( ) appears.
Depending on the material of the object as well as the locations where
the object is struck and where the contact microphone is attached, some
vibrations may not be picked up, even if the object was struck with the
same strength. When setting and checking the trigger sensitivity, strike
the object at the same location used in Training mode.
If you leave the clip attached for an extended period of time, it
might leave a surface mark when you detach it. Depending on
the age of the object or the state of its finish, it could be damaged
regardless of the length of time.
Be sure to turn off the BEATLAB mini before connecting the
3
contact microphone.
Do not twist the cord of the microphone around the BEATLAB mini
or pull the cord strongly, since it will cause the cord to break. Take
great care in handling the cord and microphone at all times.
Setting the mode
Evaluations during measurement are given in voice modes and a
sound mode.
Mode 1 (female-voice mode), Mode 2 (male-voice mode): If there is
no deviation from the metronome, the voice says "GOOD". If there
is deviation, the voice says "TOO FAST" or "TOO SLOW". If the per-
formance continues without deviation, the voice changes from saying
"GOOD" to "GREAT", "WONDERFUL" or "PERFECT".
Mode 3 (sound mode): If there is no deviation from the metronome, a
indicator will
snare sound is produced. If the deviation increases, the sound changes
to a cowbell. Strike the object along with the beat so that the snare
sound continues to be produced.
1. Press the MODE/SENS/GRADE button until "MODE" flashes in
the display.
Use the ▼ or ▲ button to select the mode.
2.
TIP: When playing back a pattern in Training mode, a clicking sound
is also played back at the same time. However, depending on the
timing of the evaluation, the clicking sound may not be produced.
Setting the grading level
The evaluation can be set to one of six difficulty levels.
Press the MODE/SENS/GRADE button until "GRADE" flashes in
1.
the display.
Use the ▼ or ▲ button to select the grading level. With a larger
2.
number, the grading level for evaluations becomes stricter.
TIP: Start practicing with grading level 1, and then gradually in-
crease the difficulty level.
Using Training mode
TIP: Specify the metronome settings from Metronome mode.
1. Press the START/STOP button to start the metronome. After a pre-
count of one bar, measuring begins.
Along with the beat, strike the object where the contact microphone
2.
is attached.
After eight bars are measured and measuring is finished, the metro-
nome stops.
Do not strike the contact microphone itself.
After the metronome stops, the grade appears, and the pendulum
3.
indicator shows the overall trend.
The lower the deviation, the higher the grade on the 100-point
scale. If the overall timing of the trigger matches the beat, "JUST"
is indicated. If the trend is faster than the beat, an indicator toward
"FAST" appears. If the trend is slower than the beat, an indicator
toward "SLOW" appears. If the difference between the beat and
trigger is small, the indicator appears near "JUST". If the
difference is large, the indicator appears far from "JUST".
Sound Out mode
When the SOUND/CALIB button is pressed, the BEATLAB mini en-
ters Sound Out mode and produces a reference pitch. This reference
pitch can be used as a guide for tuning.
You can also specify the note name and frequency (calibration) of the
reference pitch in Sound Out mode.
Select the name of the desired note
1. Press the SOUND/CALIB button so the display indicates "NOTE".
Use the ▼ or ▲ buttons to set the name of the Reference tone.
2.
To adjust the calibration
Press the SOUND/CALIB button to make the display indicate "CALIB".
1.
Use the ▼ or ▲ buttons to adjust the calibration. You can adjust
2.
the calibration in steps of 1 Hz.
