Hold down the [ (Rec)] button and press the
[ (Reset)] button.

The change in basic tempo is discarded when you turn
off the power or choose a different song. Save important
song data to floppy disks or to user memory (p. 87).
* If the song you’re working on has tempo changes, press the
[ (Reset)] button to go back to the beginning of the song
before you carry out this operation.
Changing the Tempo Within
the Song
You can add tempo changes to a recorded composition.
The KR105 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.”
