Setting a tempo (“Tempo 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 FD-8 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.
• Initial setting: bar 001, beat 1: 120 (001BAR 1 120TEMPO)
• 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.
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.
4. Press the HOLD/> key, the REWIND button, or the
F FWD button 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.
Pressing the HOLD/> key or the F FWD button repeatedly
will move the flashing cursor from TEMPO to BAR and to
, then returns to TEMPO.
Pressing the REWIND button repeatedly will move the
cursor in the opposite direction.
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.
