Tempo and Beat Map
Before creating a tempo or beat map, it’s a good idea to jot them down on paper first. This way
you’ll also have a hard copy for quick reference. The following tables show how you could layout a
beat map and tempo map.

Song
A song contains various data, such as a tempo map, a beat map, and the start point. You can
create multiple songs on the DR16pro. However, because all the songs will exist on the same time
axis, you need to leave enough time between them. For example, assume that Song 01 starts at
0 0 1:0 1:0 0 (0 minute - Absolute time), and Song 02 starts at 0 3 1:0 1:00 (1 minute -
Absolute time). If the length of Song 01 exceeds one minute, part of it will overlap the beginning of
Song 02. You may want to set the start time of Song 02 at 1 hour - Absolute time to allow enough
time between the songs.
