RHYTHM [ R / P ] key in play mode. However,
changing the rhythm pattern or adjusting the rhythm

the [VALUE] knob while the tempo value is being
shown on the display.
• To manually specify the tempo

desired interval. The G1u automatically detects the
interval in which the key is pressed the second and
subsequent times, and sets the tempo accordingly
(tap tempo function).
While the above steps are carried out, the new tempo
value (40 – 250) is shown briefly on the display. For
values in the range from 100 to 199, a dot is shown in
the center, and for values of 200 and above, dots are
shown in the center and in the bottom right corner.
You can also use the foot switch (FS01) to specify the
tempo (g p. 18).
