INTRO, NORMAL, VARIATION, or ENDING
will begin playing from the top of the next

Changing the Tempo
1

Engage the Tempo Change Mode

Press the [TEMPO] key to engage the tempo
change mode. TEMP will appear on the display
while the [TEMPO] key is held, the letter T (for
Tempo) will appear, followed by the current tempo
in quarter-notes per measure, when the [TEMPO]
key is released.
2Set the Tempo
Use the [–1] and [+1] keys, or the number keys,
to set the tempo as required. The slowest tempo is 40
beats per minute, and the fastest is 250.
DETAIL
The tempo value can be adjusted in 1-beat increments. As with pattern selection, pressing the
[–1] or [+1] key briefly decrements or increments the tempo value by 1, respectively. Press and hold
the [–1] or [+1] key to continuously decrement or increment the tempo value. When using the number
keys to enter a tempo value, you must enter two digits to enter values from
40 to 99, and three digits to enter tempo values from 100 to 250.
HINT
You can set the tempo either before starting playback of a pattern, or while a pattern is
playing.
