1. While holding down the [ (Metronome/Rhythm)] button, press C to decrease the tempo by one count, or press D to increase the tempo by one count.

While holding down the [ (Metronome/Rhythm)] button, also hold down C or D to change the tempo continuously.

You can change the tempo by pressing any C or D key.

If you hold down the [ (Metronome/Rhythm)] button and simultaneously press the C and D keys, you will return to a tempo of 108, or the original tempo of the selected song.

Using the “tempo setting sheet” included with the F-100 makes it easier to grasp the values assigned to each key. For details, refer to “Applying the Tempo Setting Sheet” (p. 8).

The tempo can be set to any value from 20 through 250. If a value less than 20 is specified, the tempo is set to 20.

If a value greater than 250 is specified, the tempo is set to 250.
