Chapter 9:
Various Settings (Q-Link Functions, Setup Mode)
Setting a beat map
During the sync operation using the DPS16 and MIDI sequencer via the MIDI clock and Song Position Pointer, if
the time signature does not match that of the actual song and you try to play back from the middle of the song, the
time value indicated on the time counter and the playback position of the MIDI sequencer may be out of sync with
the playback sound of the DPS16. To avoid this, you need to enter the time signature information in the beat map.
(See page 134 for more information on the sync operation using MIDI clock.)
Press the [F2] ( BEAT) key in Setup mode to display the following screen for setting a beat map. The names and
functions of the parameters on the screen are as follows.
