Setting the Recorder Tempo

About the tempo
The JUNO-Gi has two types of tempo: “keyboard tempo” and
“recorder tempo.” Keyboard tempo is used for the Synthesizer’s
arpeggio performance etc, and recorder tempo is the tempo of
the Digital Recorder.
Caution when changing the recorder tempo
Changing the recorder tempo will change the playback tempo
of the rhythm pattern, but will not change the playback tempo
of the audio data recorded in the Digital Recorder. This means
that if you change the tempo after recording, the sound of the
tracks and the sound of the rhythm pattern will play back out of
time with each other.
To avoid such problems, you should decide on the recorder
tempo before you start recording tracks, and avoid
changing it later.

move.the.cursor.to.the.“ =”.(Recorder.Tempo)..eld.
2. Use.the.VALUE.dial.or.the.[DEC].[INC].button.to.set.the.
recorder.tempo.
MEMO
You can also set the recorder tempo in the TEMPO window that
appears when you press the [TEMPO] button (p. 32).
If you press the [5] (LINK) button to assign a check mark (✔), the
keyboard tempo will match the recorder tempo. This is convenient
when you want to play arpeggios in time with the tempo of the
recorder’s song.
