Changing the Initial setting (SETUP mode)
2. Rotate the JOG dial clockwise.
You can view the current tempo values in sequence.
Tempo value [- - - BAR - TEMPO - - -] means that no
tempo values are specified after the current setting.
With the initial setting, [001 BAR 1 TEMPO 120] is
followed by [- - - BAR - TEMPO - - -].
Storing a tempo value
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The display indicates “Tempo Edit” and “TEMPO” flashes.
(See the figure below.) This means that you can enter a
value now.
Clearing all time signature and tempo settings Setting a tempo
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 FD-4 to manage the song using the
BAR/BEAT/CLK Time Base, and enable the Metronome func-
tion. 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.
• Initial setting: bar 001, beat 1: 120
• 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 unit.
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
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 TEMPO 120]. This means that a tempo for the first
beat of the first measure is set to 120.
<Caution>
Using this function will erase not only the time signature setting but
also the tempo data specified in the “Setting a tempo” menu de-
scribed in the next section.
1. Repeat steps 1–3 described in the “Storing a time
signature” section to display “Sign.Edit.”
2. While the measure number is flashing, turn the JOG dial
counter-clockwise to select “All Clear?.”
When “All Clear?” appears, “SURE?” flashes, and you can
clear the time signature and tempo data in the next step.
To cancel the All Clear operation, press the STOP button
or the EXIT/NO key now. Each time you press one of these
keys, the FD-4 returns to the previous hierarchy level of
the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The stored time signature and tempo data in its entirety
are cleared, and the initial settings are restored.
