Creating a Tempo Map

You must create a Beat map before creating a Tempo map.

To create a Tempo map:

1) Press the TEMPO key in Song mode.

The green LED beside the key will light.

The following screen appears on the display, indicating that the tempo of the first beat point

(step) - default setting - is set to 120.0.

2) Rotate the SHUTTLE control to access the tempo indication.

3) Rotate the JOG wheel to set the initial tempo.

The tempo can be set from 30 to 300 bpm.

For this example, let’s assume that you have set the Tempo to 120.0.

4) Press the STORE/ENT key.

Tempo 120.0 is set as the initial tempo.

5) Locate the point at which you wish to enter the tempo data.

This example indicates that you have located the third bar, and a Tempo of 120.0 was set

before the current point.

6) Rotate the JOG wheel to select a new tempo.

For this example, let’s assume that you entered a tempo of 126.

7) Press the STORE/ENT key, and Tempo 126 will be stored at the specified point.

8) Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to create a Tempo map.

Note:

The resolution for the tempo map is much finer than the beat map. You can set a

tempo change for each clock.

9) Press the TEMPO key again to cancel the tempo function.
