Operation Manual

15. TEMPO MODE

In Tempo Mode you can set the tempo for the song or pattern playback or

recording. You can switch into Tempo Mode and change the playback tempo as

the pattern or song is playing.

Each Preset pattern and song has an "initial tempo" assigned to it. Whenever

you select a Preset pattern and press [PLAY], the initial tempo will be activated.

ENTERING TEMPO MODE - Hold [MODE] and press [TEMPO] to enter Tempo

Mode. The word "TEMPO" will appear in the lower left area of the LCD, along

with the current tempo value.

CHANGING THE TEMPO - Press [-1] and [+1] to set the tempo between 40

and 250 beats per minute.

Any changes you make to the initial tempo of a Preset pattern or song will be temporary, but the tempo

change made to a User pattern or song will be retained.
