Using rhythm arrangements
4. Move the cursor to “TEMPO” and select a suitable
tempo using the TIME/VALUE dial.
You will be able to hear how your new setting changes
the playback tempo.
The tempo can be set anywhere within a range of 25.0 to
250.0 BPM. (Beats Per Minute—A value that indicates
the tempo in terms of the number of quarter notes
occurring in one minute.)
5. After you have set the tempo, press [EXIT/NO] several
times to return to the top screen.
6. If you wish to store the rhythm arrangement’s tempo,
save the current rhythm arrangement (p. 195).
The tempo set for Pattern mode (p. 151, p. 165, p. 178)
and the tempo set for Arrangement mode are handled
separately.
Setting the tempo using [TAP]
In addition to setting the tempo using [CURSOR] and the
TIME/VALUE dial, you can also set it by tapping your finger
on [TAP] at the desired tempo. (Tap Tempo)
This feature proves extremely useful when you want to
match the playback tempo to that of an audio CD but don’t
know the actual BPM value.
To set the tempo in this way, tap your finger on [TAP] four
times with approximately the same interval between each
tap. The tempo will be set based on the average tapping
interval.
