Model D2424 Reference Manual (Changing the Initial Settings <SETUP mode>)

Time Signature Setting (“Signature Set?”)

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 2/2 from the third measure.” Setting a time signature and tempo will create a Tempo Map, which allows the recorder 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	: 001bar 4/4 beat
* Available bars	: 001 ~ 999
* Available time signature	: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8, - -/- - (Delete)

*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.

*Make sure you choose the right program before setting this mode.

Storing a time signature

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

Refer to “Using the Program Change function” on page “36” for information on selecting a Program.

2.Press the [SETUP] key, use the [JOG] dial to select the [Signature.Set ?] menu, then press the

[EXECUTE/YES] key.

The indication changes to the current time signature appears. The initial setting is “001bar 4/4 ” (4/4 for the first measure).

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 “001 (measure)” of “001bar 4/4 ” flashes. You can enter any time signature here.

•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.

•Turn the [SHUTTLE] dial to display flashing [-/-] of [-/- ] and enter the time signature using the [JOG] dial.

The following measure numbers and time signatures can be entered via the [JOG] dial.

	001-999, selection of [All Clear?]
	indication.
Measures	[All Clear?] means that data in its
	entirety will be cleared. This is used
	to initialize the parameter. (Refer to
	“Clearing stored time signature/tempo
	data.”)
	1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8,
	6/8, 7/8, 8/8, -/-
Time signatures	[-/-] means no time signature assigned,
	and is used to delete time signature
	data. (Refer to “Modifying (or deleting)
	stored time signatures” for more
	information.)

<Note>

You cannot assign “- - -” to measure 001.

4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key whenever you enter a pair of measure/time signature values.

Repeat this step to specify the necessary time signature for the measures.

To cancel the setting operation, or to exit SETUP mode after storing data, press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/ NO] key. Each time you press one of these keys, the recorder returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode.
