• The METER, TEMPO, and PAD BANK 1–4 at the begin-
ning of the song cannot be set to “–”.

for a step that is not located at beat 1.
The range for each item is as follows.
Tip!
Tip!
•You cannot delete the tempo map event located at the
beginning of the song, or change its location. If you
want to change the tempo or time signature during the
song, you can insert a new event.
• If you set METER, TEMPO, PAD BANK 1–4, or SCENE
to a value of “–”, that event will be disabled. For exam-
ple if you want to specify only the time signature and
tempo, you should set the pad bank and scene to “–”.

■Adding a tempo map event

1Access the TEMPO page, move the cursor 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.
Tip!
Tip!
If you use the INSERT button instead of the NEW button,
a blank tempo map event will be inserted before the cur-
rently 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).
2Make sure that the cursor is outside the list,
and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select a
tempo map event that you created.
When the cursor is located outside the list, you can
turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to scroll the contents of
the list.
3Move the cursor to the MEAS 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.
4Move the cursor to the item that you want to
edit, and turn 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.
5In the same way, use the NEW or INSERT but-
ton to add new events, and set their parame-
ters.

■Deleting a tempo map event

Here’s how to delete an unwanted event from the tempo
map. (However, you cannot delete the event that is
located at the beginning of the song.)
1Access the TEMPO page, and scroll the list to
select the tempo map event that you want to
delete.
2Move the cursor to the DELETE button and
press the [ENTER] key.
The selected event will be deleted.
