Adjusting the playback tempo

Even with a song having recorded tempo data, you can use TEMPO/PROGRAM or TAP TEMPO to adjust the tempo to your liking.

•When the tempo is changed, all the tempo data of that song is automatically changed by the same ratio. Accordingly, even in song data in which tempo change data is stored, a single adjustment of the tempo produces a natural-sounding playback.

•To return to the original tempo, while the song is stopped press the SEQUENCER RESET button (the tempo data is necessary at the beginning of the CONTROL track). Note that the tempo change is also canceled when you switch to another song or load a new song.

•The adjusted tempo is canceled when you begin the recording procedure and the original tempo data will be recorded.
