TEMPO MAP

You can set tempo information for a Project.

When an external device, such as a MIDI sequencer, synchronizes to the Song Position Pointer and MIDI clock

transmitted from the DPS12, the tempo settings of the MIDI sequencer are ignored. Therefore, you need to specify

the tempo of the MIDI clock on the DPS12. In this Control Panel, you can enter tempo information (the number of

quarter notes played in a minute) at the point where the tempo changes. The parameters and function keys include

the following functions.

1 Position of tempo change

Use the [CURSOR] key to move the cursor to this field, and turn the [JOG] dial to change the existing tempo

information in steps of bars, beats, and clocks. However, the number of a measure should not exceed the

number of measures that already have the tempo information.

Use the [CURSOR] key to move the cursor to this field, and turn the [JOG] dial to set the tempo. The range is

from 30 to 300.

3 [F5] key (Deleting tempo information)

Pressing the [F5] key will delete tempo information located at the cursor.

4 [F6] key (Inserting time signature information)

Pressing the [F6] key will insert new tempo information in the current measure (the measure indicated in the

field).

NOTE :

The first measure of the beat map contains a tempo of 120 as a preset. You cannot move or

erase this tempo information, but you can change the information.
