Adding Tempo Changes to a Tempo Map
1. Press the [UTILITY] button and use the [√] and [®] SELECT buttons to select
the MIDI Sync function.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows OFFXMTCXCLK
3. Use the [®] SELECT button to select CLK.
4. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows MeterXTempo>
5. Press the [®] SELECT button to select Tempo.
6. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows EDITXNEW
7. Use the [√] and [®] SELECT buttons to select EDIT or NEW.
EDIT allows you to edit the current Tempo Map. NEW resets all tempo steps in the Tempo Map.
8. Press the [ENTER] button.
If you selected NEW, the display shows Ax001-1x®120. This is the first tempo step in the
Tempo Map. If your song uses the same tempo all the way through, you only need to set step A.
9. Use the [√] and [®] SELECT buttons to select the measure, beat, and tempo
parameters, and the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to set them.
The measure can be set from 1 to 999. The beat parameter is dependent on the number of beats
in a measure, which is specified by the meter setting. For example, for a meter setting of 4/4,
this beat parameter can be set from 1 to 4. For a meter setting of 6/8, this beat parameter can
be set from 1 to 6. Step A is always set to measure 1–beat 1 (001–1). Pressing the [+] and [–]
buttons together resets the measure and beat to 000–1. When the measure–beat parameter of a
new step is selected (000–0), pressing the [–] button selects the highest measure–beat already
in the Tempo Map.
The tempo can be set from 20 to 300. Pressing the [+] and [–] buttons together resets the tempo
to 120.
10. Press the [ENTER] button.
The Tempo Map is sorted automatically and the cursor moves to the step letter. MASTER
appears on the display, indicating that MD4 is ready to generate MIDI Clock information.
11. Use the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to select other steps and set them as expla-
nined in step 9.
