Begin at 60 BPM
Use the preset until all four gaps sound equal. The accented first click marks the quarter-note beat; the other three clicks complete that beat rather than adding new beats.

How to practise sixteenth notes with the metronome
The BPM still measures quarter-note beats. Sixteenth-note mode divides every beat into four equal clicks; at the 60 BPM preset, each click is 250 milliseconds apart.
Count 1-e-and-a
Place one syllable on each click: the number on the accented beat, then e, and, a. Keep the middle clicks centred instead of rushing them toward the next beat.
Compare two and four
Switch between two-click eighth notes and four-click sixteenth notes without changing BPM. In the four-click grid, the eighth-note clicks land on the numbered beat and the “and” syllable.
