Determining the Song’s Beat and Tempo

2. Press the [Metronome] button to select the beat (p. 32).

want to compose a song whose beat changes partway through
the song, take a look at “Changing the Beat in the Middle of a
Song (Beat Map)” (p. 113).

tempo of the song.
If you do not need the metronome sound, press the
[Metronome] button once more.
→When using song data that has already been recorded, the
recording is made using the source song’s basic tempo. To
change the basic tempo of a song, please refer to “Changing the
Tempo of Recorded Songs” (p. 114).
