Step Up/Down ( ) Example of using the boss nut Cymbal stand Wing nut Washer Boss nut This product complies with the requirements of EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. 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 five beats per minute (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 five beats per minute (5 BPM) after every four measures. This will continue until it reaches back to the metronome's starting tempo and then repeat the process. [. . . ]
