About original tempo
Each track saves the tempo at which that track was recorded. This is called the “original tempo” of the track. The phrase memory also has a
“phrase memory tempo” (p. 21) that is shared by all tracks 1, 2, and 3.
When recording ends, the original tempo is automatically calculated according to the following conditions.
Condition Original tempo value to be saved
Rhythm is playing
Original tempo will be set from the “phrase memory tempo” (p. 21).
Other tracks have phrases with the following settings
• Play Mode at LOOP, Loop Sync ON
• Play Mode at LOOP, Tempo Sync ON
Cases other than the above
The original tempo is automatically calculated according to the following conditions.
Phrase Memory Tempo will be set to the same value as the automatically calculated original tempo.
The track’s number of measures (Measure:
p . 17) has been specified
The original tempo is calculated according to the rhythm’s time signature (Beat: p. 25) and the number of
measures (Measure).
4 measures
2 measures
4/4 time signature
4/4 time signature
For example, if the time signature (Beat) is “4/4,” the number of measures (Measure)
is “4,” and you’ve recorded for six seconds, the calculated tempo will be “160.”
If the number of measures (Measure) is set to “2,” the calculated tempo will be “80.”
The track’s number of measures (Measure:
p . 17) is not specified (AUTO/FREE)
The recorded number of measures is assumed to be “1, 2, 4, 8, 16... measures,” and the original tempo
will be calculated in the range of “80–160.”
For example, if “4/4” is specified as the time signature (Beat), and you record for eight seconds,
the calculated tempo will be “120” (a tempo in the range of “80–160” will be selected).
In the case of 1 measure… Tempo: 30
In the case of 2 measures… Tempo: 60
In the case of 3 measures… Tempo: 120
In the case of 4 measures… Tempo: 240
