(Time Signature)

PX-7 allows you to set almost any conceivable time signature. The

numerator (indicating number of beats in a measure) can be set from 1 to

99. The denominator (indicating the rhythmic value of each beat) can be

set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64. The time signature can be changed at any

time before or after recording.

The meter setting affects the bar:beat display, the pattern length,

metronome accent, and the grid recording display.

For background information about Time Signatures, see page 339.
