Creating and Editing Songs
Changing the Tempo of Recorded Songs
You can change the basic tempo of a composition. The basic
tempo was initially set when the song was recorded.
1. Press the Tempo [-] and [+] buttons to choose a tempo.
2. Hold down the [ (Rec)] button and press the
[ (Reset)] button.
The song’s basic tempo changes.
The change in basic tempo is discarded when you turn
off the power or choose a different song. Save important
song data to floppy disks or to user memory (p. 87).
* If the song you’re working on has tempo changes, press the
[ (Reset)] button to go back to the beginning of the song
before you carry out this operation.
Changing the Tempo Within the Song
You can add tempo changes to a recorded composition.
The KR105 stores song tempo information and performance
data separately. Therefore, when making changes to the
tempo in a song, you must record the changes in the tempo
information independently of the performance data.
This recording of the tempo is called “Tempo Recording.”

changes.

recording begins.
7. When you get to the place where you want to change
the tempo, use the Tempo [-] and [+] buttons or the dial
to vary the tempo as desired.

recording stops.
The song’s tempo changes.
* You cannot record performances while in Tempo Recording
mode. When you’re finished tempo recording, go back to the
ordinary Replace Recording. Take a look at “Changing the
Recording Method (Rec Mode)” (p. 102).
