Changing a Song’s Basic
Tempo
You can change the basic tempo of a composition. The basic
tempo is that was initially set when the song was recorded.
1. Press the Tempo [-] and [+] buttons to choose a
tempo.
2. Hold down the Rec [ ] button and press the
Reset [ ] button.
The song’s basic tempo changes.
The changed setting is discarded when you turn off the
power or choose a different song.
It is a good idea to save important song data to floppy
disk (p. 109).
* For songs that have tempo changes within the song, first press
the Reset [ ] button to return to the beginning of the song
before carrying out this procedure. Changing the tempo
without returning to the start of the song causes the
proportion by which the tempo is altered at the location of the
tempo change to affect the overall tempo of the composition.
