Initial Default Tempo Settings

The following are the rules that govern the initial default tempo settings of built-in rhythms.

•Each rhythm has an initial default tempo setting that best matches the rhythm.

•Changing the selected rhythm while rhythm play is stopped automatically changes the tempo setting to initial default for the newly selected rhythm.

•Changing the selected rhythm while rhythm is playing changes the rhythm without changing the tempo setting. If One-Touch Preset is turned on (page E-19), the tempo setting is always changed with selection of a different rhythm, regardless of whether the rhythm is playing or not.
