1 Tempo map events

These are the events recorded in the tempo map. When
you create a new song, a tempo map event of time sig-
nature = 4/4 and tempo = 120 will be created at the
beginning of the song (measure 1, beat 1).

5

Move the cursor to the TEMPO field of the
event, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/
[DEC] keys to set the tempo value.

The tempo can be set from 30 to 250 (BPM).

6

If necessary, move the cursor to the METER
field and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/
[DEC] keys to change the time signature.

The time signature can be set from 1/4 to 8/4.

Each audio track contains eight virtual tracks. After over-
dubbing a solo part, you can switch the virtual track for
that track, and record a different take while preserving the
previously-recorded content.
