The
KDM-2 advances Korg's most popular metronome.
Louder,
more flexible, cooler looking.
The cylindrical speaker has been enhanced with an improved
resonator structure to ensure that it's easily heard. With
the KDM-2 you have a choice of 3 different PCM sounds (cowbell/agogo/clave)
for the beat, so you can choose the sound that compliments
the instrument you're playing. The volume can also be adjusted
to the most appropriate level. Since there's a PHONE jack,
you can connect a mini-plug (1/8") earphone for private
practice.
The START/STOP switch located on the top panel blinks in two
colors - red and green -
for a visual indication of the tempo. It's a great feature
if you want to practice with a silent metronome.
From basic beats to variations like son clave and rumba clave,
the KDM-2 contains a total of 19 beat patterns. You can set
the tempo in any of three ways. Full Step mode that lets you
adjust the tempo over a range of 30 through 252 in steps of
one. Pendulum Step mode lets you set the tempo using the preset
tempo settings, as on a mechanical metronome. And Tap Tempo
lets you set the tempo by pressing the TAP switch at the desired
interval.
Sound Out mode outputs a reference tone that you can use as
a tuning guide. You can listen to any of the twelve pitches
from C4~B4. You can also adjust the A4 frequency (calibration)
in a broad range from 410 Hz to 480 Hz.
The KDM-2 provides a memory backup function that remembers
the specified tempo, beat, calibration, and reference pitch
even when the power is turned off.
