6When the MIDI sequencer has finished playing, stop the MIDI sequencer.

When recording is completed on the D1200, the display will indicate “Complete.”

Press the [YES/OK] key.

Tap tempo

You can record the tempo by pressing (tapping) the [PLAY] key at the beginning of each measure or on each beat while the song plays.

You can use a PS-1 foot switch (sold separately) instead of the [PLAY] key.

Tap tempo lets you record the tempo after a song has already been recorded. If you record tempo for a song for which you did not originally specify the tempo, you will be able to do the following things.

•Edit tracks in units of measures

•Connect and synchronize external MIDI devices 1 Prepare the audio for which you want to record the

tempo.

Record the audio from the beginning of the song.

When recording from the beginning of the song, it is convenient to use Trigger recording. (→ p.54)

2Specify the time signature of the song.

If the time signature changes during the song for which you want to record tempo, create a tempo map at the location where the time signature changes.

If you want the time signature to change during the song, you must create the appropriate tempo maps. Tempo settings will play back in synchronization, but measures will become incorrectly aligned if the time signature changes do not match.

3If you want to use a foot switch to input the tap tempo, connect an optional PS-1 foot switch to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack of the D1200.

4Choose how you will record the tempo.

In the [RHYTHM] “TmpTrk” tab page, select either “MeasTap” (tap at the beginning of each measure) or “BeatTap” (tap at each beat).

5Record the tap tempo track.

•Select the “RecStart” button and press the [ENTER] key. The D1200 will enter the record-ready mode.

•When you press the [PLAY] key or a connected foot switch, the song will begin playing, and tap tempo recording will also begin.

•While you listen to the playback, record the tap tempo by pressing the [PLAY] key or foot switch at the intervals you specified in step 4. The counter will be displayed while you record the tap tempo.

When using the [PLAY] key to record tap tempo, do not strike the key any more forcefully than necessary. Doing so may damage the hard disk etc.

6After you have input the last tap, press the [STOP] key. For example if you are inputting four measures of a 4/4 time signature, tap four times in the case of “MeasTap” or sixteen times in the case of “BeatTap” to input up to the beginning of the fifth measure. Then press the [STOP] key.

If you input taps only until mid-way through the song, the tempo of the last-input measure or beat will be auto- matically copied to the end of the song.

7Specify the tempo track as the tempo source.

Access the [RHYTHM] “SetUp” tab page, select “Tem- poSource,” and turn the [VALUE] dial to choose “Tem- poTrk.”

Move to the beginning of the song, and press the [PLAY] key to play back the song and check the tempo.
