About tempo

The JUNO-Gi uses two kinds of tempo: the “ keyboard tempo” and the “ recorder tempo .” The keyboard tempo is used for the synthesizer’s arpeggio

etc, and the recorder tempo is the tempo of the digital recorder .

Use the cursor [ ] [ ] buttons to select the tempo that you want to change (Keyboard Tempo, Recorder Tempo) .
If you press the [5] (LINK) button to assign a check mark (✔), the keyboard tempo will match the recorder tempo . This is convenient when you

want to play arpeggios in time with the tempo of the recorder’s song .

If you use the USB memory song player to play back MIDI data (SMF) when the [5] (LINK) button is off , the keyboard tempo will be set to the

tempo of the SMF data .

You can save the current keyboard tempo by pressing the [WRITE] button while the TEMPO window is displayed .

3. To close the setting window, press the [6] (CLOSE) button .
