groups.

according the accompaniment style you select.

Set the Tempo

.................................................................................................................................................................................

When you select a different style while the ac-

companiment is not playing, the “default” tempo for
that style is also selected, and the tempo is displayed
on the display in quarter-note beats per minute. If
the accompaniment is playing, the same tempo is
maintained even if you select a different style.

You can change the tempo to any value between

32 and 280 beats per minute, however, by using the
TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons. This can be done either
before the accompaniment is started or while it is
playing. To use the [–] and [+] buttons, press either
button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo
value by one, or hold the button for continuous
decrementing or incrementing.

NOTES

• The default tempo for the selected style can be recalled at

any time by pressing both the TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons
simultaneously.
