5Press the [

6Press and hold the [
] key for approximately one second so that the D8’s display reads “StartSEQ”. The D8 will wait for MIDI Clock messages to arrive.
7Start the MIDI sequencer. When the MIDI Start message is received from the MIDI sequencer, the D8’s display will indicate “Working”.
8When the MIDI sequencer stops playback, record- ing will be completed and the D8 will indicate “Complete”.
If MIDI Clock messages are not transmitted cor- rectly from the MIDI sequencer, recording may ter- minate before the end of the song.
3. Recording tap tempo
While playing back a song, you can record tempo data by pressing (tapping) the [PLAY] key or the foot switch at the beginning of each measure. This allows tempo data to be recorded onto a previ-
This is convenient when you wish to perform track editing in measure units on a song for which tempo was not specified, or when you wish to con- nect and synchronize an external MIDI device.
1From the beginning of the song, record the audio source whose tempo you wish to record. In order to record accurately from the beginning of the song, it is convenient to use Trigger Recording. (Refer to “Trigger recording”, p.22)
2If the data contains irregular time signatures, cre- ate tempo maps on the D8 to specify the appropri- ate time signatures.
If you fail to do this, the data will be detected as an incorrect tempo.
3If you wish to use a foot switch to input the tap tempo, or if you wish to use both a foot switch and the [PLAY] key to input the tap tempo, connect the foot switch
4Press the [EDIT] key, and then press the [TEMPO] key several times to make the display read “TempoRec”.

7Press the [PLAY] key or the foot switch (which will always be automatically set to Tap Marker when tap tempo is being recorded) to begin playback. The display will indicate “Play/Fsw”, and the first tap will be input.
Play/Fsw
8At the beginning of each measure, press the [PLAY] key or the foot switch (both will be valid) to enter the taps. For example if you wish to tap four measures, you would tap until the beginning of the fifth measure.
9After inputting the last tap, press the [STOP] key to finish.
If the song tempo is basically constant, you need not enter taps all the way to the end. In this case, the tempo of the measure that was last tapped will be automatically copied until the end of the song.
4.Selecting the tempo source
1Press the [EDIT] key, and then press the [TEMPO] key several times to make the display read “TmpSrc”.

2Press the [
] key, and then rotate the [VALUE] dial to select the tempo source that you wish to use. Select Map if you wish to use tempo maps, or select Trk if you wish to use MIDI Clock data or tap tempo data that was recorded. After MIDI Clock data or tap tempo data is recorded, this will automatically be set to Trk. Also, if MIDI Clock or Tap Tempo data has not been recorded, it will not be possible to select Trk.
