At 150 BPM the metronome clicks 150 times a minute: 2.5 beats a second, one every 400 ms. On the usual scale of Italian tempo markings, 150 BPM falls in Allegro.
Press Start and the click begins at 150 BPM; nudge it with − and + or the slider. To learn a passage for 150 BPM, start at about 80% (around 120 BPM) and raise the tempo a few BPM at a time — the Pro tab's speed trainer does the raising for you, and its subdivisions add eighths (300 clicks a minute) or sixteenths (600).
