while the [RHYTHM] key is flashing.

tempo.
In RHYTHM mode, faders 3 and 4 serve to control
the tempo in the range from 40 to 250 bpm (beats
per minute).
Shortly after adjusting the tempo, the display will
return automatically to the condition of step 1.
N OTE
• The tempo set here applies to all patterns. If
you haven’t programmed the tempo
information in a song yet, the song will also be
played with this tempo setting.
• If you have recorded audio tracks 1 – 4 while
monitoring the pattern, and if you then change
the pattern tempo afterwards, there will be a
mismatch between the recorded audio tracks
and the rhythm tempo.
