Song management

■Adding a tempo map event

1 Access the Tempo Map page, move the cur- sor to the NEW button, and press the [ENTER] key.

A blank tempo map event will be created after the last step that is currently input.

HINT

•If you use the INSERT button instead of the NEW button, a blank tempo map event will be inserted before the currently selected step. However, you cannot insert an event before the tempo map event at the beginning of the song (i.e., the tempo map event that is input when you create the song).

2 Make sure that the cursor is outside the list, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select a tempo map event that you created.

When the cursor is located outside the list, you can use the [DATA/JOG] dial to scroll the contents of the list.

3 Move the cursor to the MEASURE field of the event that is selected in the list, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to specify the location of the event.

You can adjust the location of a tempo map event in units of measures or beats. However, you cannot move an event past the preceding or following event.

4 Move the cursor to the item that you want to edit, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the value.

If necessary, you can play back the song to check that the tempo map event works as you expect.

5 In the same way, use the NEW or INSERT button to add new events, and set their parameters.
