Other functionality
Tap tempo control
A tap tempo control function has been added to Program, Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes.
While SMF data is playing in these modes, you can control the playback tempo in realtime just by lightly pressing the [ENTER] key several times at the beat of the desired tempo. This function is a convenient way to set the tempo of the arpeggiator, sequencer, or SMF playback to the desired beat in realtime.
As an example, here’s an example of the procedure in Pro- gram mode.
1In Program mode, select
2In Program P0: Play, select the Arpeggio tab and check the “Latch” check box.
3Turn the front panel ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key on.
4Lightly press the [ENTER] key several times at the desired tempo.
The tempo at which you press the [ENTER] key is shown in the “ =” display in the upper right of the LCD screen. When you play the keyboard, the arpeggiator will play a drum pattern at this tempo.
5Lightly press the [ENTER] key on the beat, and then slightly speed up the interval at which you press the key. The drum pattern tempo will become slightly faster.
You can use tap tempo control whenever the [TEMPO] knob can be operated. For example in Sequencer mode, tap tempo control will not be available if you are play- ing a song whose “Tempo Mode” setting (☞PG p.50) is set to Auto.
You can control the tap tempo control function not just by using the [ENTER] key but also from a foot switch connected to the ASSIGNABLE FOOT SWITCH jack. (☞p.57 “Foot Switch Assign”)
