D-160 Owner's manual (SETUP mode)

2-2. Time Signature Setting ("Signature Set?")

This mode sets up the time signature of a song.

The way it sets this up is, for example, to start a song with a 4/4 beat from the first bar, then to change it to a 2/4 beat at bar number 17. The time signature and next section tempo setting make up a tempo map. After the tempo map is figured out by completing the time signature and tempo setting, the D-160 will be able to handle "BAR /BEAT/ CLOCK" and the metronome function. You need to set up the time signature and tempo to generate the MIDI Clock & Song Position Pointer.

* Refer to page "117" for details of "MIDI Clock Synchronization".

<Note>

The D-160 will still run the time counter in PLAY mode even after the ABS END. Thus, it will continue generating the MIDI Clock & Song Position Pointer even if you have not recorded anything, provided a tempo map has been set up.

*Maximum setting points : 64

*The setting is applicable song by song.

*The setting can be saved or loaded as a part of the song data

*The setting is memorized even when the power is off.

If there are some setting changes registered in a song, you can see the next set up point by rotating the JOG dial clockwise. ("*** bar */* )

If you turn the JOG dial fully clockwise, "- - BAR - -/- - " will be displayed. This means there are no more time signature changing points registered.

<Note>

The D-160 counts a beat with the last registered time signature, i.e. one bar before the "- - bar - -/- - " . In the case of the initial setting, because only the first bar is registered with a 4/4 beat, the beat counts with a 4/4 beat until the end unless you register a different time signature after the second bar.
