Restoring the Default Tempo Value

Each song and style has been given a default or standard tempo. If you’ve changed the tempo, you can restore the original default setting by pressing both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Tempo is selected in the Overall menu).

Also, the tempo of a song or style returns to the default setting when selecting a different song or style. (The set tempo remains, however, when switching styles during playback except when OTS is on.) When you turn on the power of the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to 116 bpm.
