2) Use the [CURSOR / ] keys to select a desired

Creating the tempo map
After setting the signature map, you have to cre-
ate the tempo map.
Like the signature map, the tempo map specifies
the tempo at the tempo changing point. Each
tempo specified in the signature map is effective
until another tempo is specified.
For example, you can set the tempo to 120 at the
third beat in bar 4, and set to 90 at the second
beat in bar 12, etc.
By creating the signature map and tempo map,
the signature/tempo map is completed, and you
can output the guide click or feed the MIDI clock
and song position pointer to an external MIDI
device.
Let's assume to create the tempo map as below.
The first beat in bar 1 -> 120
The second beat in bar 4 -> 180
The third beat in bar 8
-> 90
The first beat in bar 12 -> 120
The fourth beat in bar 16 -> 250
1) Bring up the song edit menu screen and use the
[CURSOR ] key to highlight "Tempo Map", then
press the [ENTER] key.
The display shows the screen for new tempo set-
ting. By default, "
1bar 1 -> 120bpm " and " ---bar - -> -
--bpm " are shown.
In this condition, the tempo is set to " 120bpm " from
the beginning to the end of a song.
You can create the tempo map as shown above by
the following procedure.
