Setting a tempo (“Tempo Map Set ?” menu)
The “Setting a tempo” menu enables you to specify a tempo at a given point in a song that already has a time
signature setting. For example, you can specify a tempo of 150 to the third beat of the 12th measure.
Time signature and tempo settings make a Tempo Map, which is used by the recorder to manage the song
using the BAR/BEAT/CLK Time Base, and enable the Metronome function. Tempo settings as well as time
signature settings are required when you wish to output MIDI clock and Song Position Pointer to an external
sequencer.
<Note>
The tempo set figure setup here is an approximate figure and not 100% accurate. Therefore, although the tempo
map be matched to a personal computer, they will gradually drift apart. In order to prevent this drift, the
personal computer side can be set to either MIDI Clock Sync or, the MIDI sync output signal temporarily set to
“MIDI Clock,” the figure reset to the accurate tempo and then return again to MTC sync.
• Initial setting: bar 001, beat 1:
120 (001 bar 1 beat 120 tempo)
• Setting range of measures:
Determined by the time signature setting.
• Setting range of beats:
Determined by the time signature setting.
• Setting range of tempo:
30-250/quarter note, — (delete)
• Max. setting points:
64 points
* You can set the tempo for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.
Checking the stored tempo setting
1.Select a Program to check the tempo setting for.
Press the SETUP key, use the JOG dial to select the [Tempo
Map Set ?] menu, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
Indication on the display changes as shown below, and
the current tempo appears. The initial setting is [001
bar 1
=120]. This means that a tempo for the first
beat of the first measure is set to 120.
2.Rotate the JOG dial clockwise.
You can view the current tempo values in
sequence.
Tempo value [- - - bar -
= - - -] means that no tempo
values are specified after the current setting.
With the initial setting, [001bar 1
=120] is followed
by [- - - bar -
= - - -].
Storing a tempo value
3.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The indication changes to [001 (measure)] of [001bar]
flashes. (See the figure below.)
This means that you can enter a value now.
4.Turn the SHUTTLE dial to move the flashing cursor
to the desired edit location, and use the JOG dial
to enter the bar/beat/tempo information to be
stored.
The bar and beat settings for the time signatures
determine the setting range of bar and beat settings for
the tempo. You can specify a tempo between 30 and
250 per quarter note.
The indication [
= - - -] means “no tempo,” which is
used to delete a tempo setting.
When you turn the JOG dial, [
= - - -] appears for the
bars and beats for which no tempo has been set.
