TIME SIGNATURE (default 4/4):
This parameter, which measures the number of beats in a bar (the numerator) as
well as the division of a beat (the denominator) provides a selection of different
Time signatures by combining the numerator (range 1…16) with the denominator
(2, 4, 8, 16).
For example, you can record a Style in 3/4 time by selecting 4/4, specifying 3/4
with the “3” key on the keyboard and pressing Master or Esc to return to the record
pending status.
The denominator is activated by selecting the parameter with the right arrow.
Note: The Time Signature can only be changed when the style is “empty”. In other
words, if you try to change the Time Signature of a recorded track, an
appropriate warning will be displayed:
RECORDING TEMPO (default 120):
This parameter defines the recordings running speed (Metronomic Tempo),
measured in beats per minute (BPM). The value memorised in the Master Track
refers to the Tempo with which you start recording.
You can modify this value only before recording (the new value will be automati-
cally memorised).
You can vary the Tempo in real time in playback or during the recording, but this
will not alter the memorised value of the parameter in the Master Track.
COUNT DOWN (default On)
This parameter enables or disables the one bar “lead” into the recording after
pressing Start.
When set to “On”, the Count Down is executed by the Metronome, which starts
to “tick” at the established running speed according to the established Time
Signature.
Furthermore, the Left and Right Cursor arrows monitor the Tempo by flashing in
time with the beats. The first beat of a bar is flashed on the Left Cursor arrow, while
the remaining beats are flashed on the Right arrow:
The Count Down can be disabled
1
by setting the parameter to “Off”.
NOTE:
If the status of the
default parameters in
the Master Track are
satisfactory, all the
operations indicated in
point 6 can be ignored.
Note 1:
If you are recording via
MIDI with an external
Sequencer, the WX
Clock should be set to
“EXTERNAL” in order
to sync the WX with the
external Sequencer. In
this condition, the
Count Down will be
disabled automatically -
WX will Start with an
externally received
message.
