power or choose a different song. Save important song data to
external memory or to user memory (p. 134).
• If the song you’re working on has tempo changes, press the [
(Prev)] button to go back to the beginning of the song before you
carry out this operation.
You can add tempo changes to a recorded composition.
The RM-700 stores song tempo information and performance data
separately. Therefore, when making changes to the tempo in a
song, you must record the changes in the tempo information
independently of the performance data.
This recording of the tempo is called “Tempo Recording.”
You can add ritardando and other such gradual tempo changes.
