VR800 Owner’s Manual (Changing the initial setting: SETUP mode)

Setting a time signature (“Sign. Set ?” menu)

Using the “Setting a time signature” menu, you can set a time signature of a given measure on the internal programmable Tempo Map. And also in this setting, the BAR (-002BAR, 1 , 00CLK) displayed at the head of the disk in the time base BAR/BEAT/CLK can be set within the range of -009BAR ~ -002BAR.

For example, you can specify “4/4 for the first and second measures, and 2/4 from the third measure.” Setting a time signature and tempo will create a Tempo Map, which allows the VR800 to manage a song using the BAR/ BEAT/CLK Time Base. You can also use the Metronome function.

A time signature and tempo setting are required when MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer are output to an external sequencer.

•Initial setting: [4 4] for bar [001] (not specified for 002 and later.)

•Setting range of measures: [001] - [999]

•Setting range of BAR: [-009BAR] - [-002BAR]

•Setting range of time signatures: [1 4], [2 4], [3 4], [4 4], [5 4], [1 8], [3 8], [5 8], [6 8], [7 8], [8 8], [- -] (delete)

•Max. setting points: 64 points

*You can set time signatures for each Program individually.

*The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.

*The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.

Storing a time signature

1. Select a Program for which to set a time signature.

Refer to “Using the Program Change function” on page 34 for information on selecting a Program.

2. Press the SETUP key, use the JOG dial to select the [Sign.Set ?] menu, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The indication changes to [Sign. Chk] and the current time signature appears. The initial setting is [001BAR 4 4] (4/4 for the first measure).

•Rotate the JOG dial to enter the desired measure number.

If you wish to keep the initial setting for the first measure, enter 002. If you try to enter any number other than 001, the time signature indicator shows [- -]. This means that no time signature is set for any measures other than the first measure. To change the time signature for the first measure, follow the steps below, without entering any other measure number.

At this time, rotating the JOG dial clockwise enables you to check the current time signatures in sequence.

With the initial setting, time signatures after the first measure are all [---BAR- -]. This means that a time signature of 4/4 applies to all measures.

3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The indication changes to [Sign. Edit] and [001 (measure)] of [001BAR 4 4] flashes. You can enter any time signature

here.
