Changing the Tempo of
Recorded Songs
You can change the basic tempo of a composition. The basic
tempo was initially set when the song was recorded.
1.
Press the Tempo [-] and [+] buttons to choose a tempo.
2.
Hold down the [ (Rec)] button and press the
[ (Reset)] button.
The song’s basic tempo changes.
The change in basic tempo is discarded when you turn
off the power or choose a different song. Save important
song data to floppy disks or to user memory (p. 101).
* If the song you’re working on has tempo changes, press the
[ (Reset)] button to go back to the beginning of the song
before you carry out this operation.
Changing the Tempo Within
the Song
You can add tempo changes to a recorded composition.
The KF-7 stores song tempo information and performance
data separately. Therefore, when making changes to the
tempo in a song, you must record the changes in the tempo
information independently of the performance data.
This recording of the tempo is called “Tempo Recording.”
■ Adjusting the Tempo While
Listening to a Song
You can add ritardando and other such gradual tempo
changes.
Setting the Rec Mode to “Tempo”
1.
Press the [Menu] button.
The Menu screen appears.

Recording Method (Rec Mode)” (p. 116).
