5.2. Project management

5.2.1. Saving a Project

!: When you follow these instructions you will overwrite the selected Project and all of its patterns.

Be sure this is what you want to do! If not, be sure to find out which memory location is available and
store the Project there instead.

Once you have chosen a Project location,

• Hold the SAVE button
• Press the PROJECT button and hold it
• Press the desired Step button number.

To recall this Project later follow the steps described in the

Loading a Project [p.49]

section

above.

5.2.2. Copying a Project

You can also copy a Project from one location to another, even if no edits have been made.

To do this, simply follow the same steps described above in the

Saving a Project [p.50]

section above, and select a new location number instead of the original number.

5.3. Tempo

The RATE/FINE encoder controls the Tempo value, which is stored per Project. It’s also

possible to override the per-Project settings with a Global tempo using the

MIDI Control

Center [p.84]

(see the

Tempo [p.50]

) section there.

5.3.1. Fine-tuning of the Tempo

If you want to change the tempo in increments smaller than 1 bpm (to 100.33 bpm, for

example), hold the SHIFT button and turn the RATE/FINE encoder clockwise. Once you’ve

reached the desired value between .00 and .99, release the SHIFT button.

To reset the fine-tune value to zeroes, turn the RATE/FINE encoder without holding the SHIFT

button.

5.3.2. Tap tempo

You can set the tempo of your Project using the TAP/METRO button. All you have to do is tap

the button at the desired rate and the tempo will change to match your rhythm.

: Tap tempo will not function when the BeatStep Pro is set to one of the external sync sources.

You can

set the number of taps [p.50]

it takes to set the Tempo using the

MIDI Control Center

[p.84]

.
