while you listen to the rhythm
You can record your performance while listening to the

Built-in rhythm patterns can be recorded on a track.
As an example, here’s how the rhythm pattern can be re-
corded on mixer channels 1 and 2.
1. Make settings as described in “1. Specifying and
playing a rhythm.”
Turn “Rhythm” “Off.”
If this is turned on, the sound will be output in
duplicate to the track and also to the master LR
bus.)
To set the volume, use the mixer channel that you are
inputting. Since “RhythmVol (Vol)” adjusts the send

4. Specifying the tempo
As an alternative to playing your entire song at the same
tempo, you can make the tempo change during the song,
or synchronize the tempo to an external MIDI device.
Choose one of the following tempo sources to control the
tempo of the song.
• Manual tempo: when the tempo is the same for the
entire song
• Tempo map: when you want the tempo to change dur-
ing the song
• Tempo track: when you want to use the tempo
recorded from MIDI Clock or Tap Tempo
The tempo source is set by the [TEMPO/RHYTHM]
“SetUp” tab page “TempoSource” setting.
Here’s how to use each type of tempo setting.
Manual tempo
When you use manual tempo, the song will play back
according to the “Tempo” (tempo), “Beat” (time
signature), and “SelRhythm” (rhythm pattern) settings;
the tempo etc. will not change during the song.
Set the tempo source to Manual.
Access the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “SetUp” tab page.
Select “TempoSource,” and turn the [VALUE] dial to
choose “Manual.”
For details on “Tempo,” “Beat,” and “SelRhythm”
settings, refer to “1. Specifying and playing a
rhythm” (→p.71).
Tempo map
The tempo map lets you specify tempo, time signature,
and rhythm pattern for each measure so that these will
change at the specified measure within the song.
1. Set the tempo source to Tempo Map.
Access the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “SetUp” tab page.
Select “TempoSource,” and turn the [VALUE] dial to
choose “TempoMap.”
2. Make settings for the first tempo map event “001,”
which specifies the initial tempo at the beginning of
the song.
The tempo map for a song consists of tempo map
event “001” which specifies the initial tempo at
the beginning of the song, and tempo map events
“002”–“200” which you can specify to change the
tempo etc. at measures within the song.
