When an external device, such as a MIDI sequencer, synchronizes to the Song Position Pointer and MIDI clock
transmitted from the DPS12, the tempo settings of the MIDI sequencer are ignored. Therefore, you need to specify
the tempo of the MIDI clock on the DPS12. In this Control Panel, you can enter tempo information (the number of

the following functions.

Use the [CURSOR] key to move the cursor to this field, and turn the [JOG] dial to set the tempo. The range is
from 30 to 300.

Pressing the [F5] key will delete tempo information located at the cursor.
4 INSERT [F6] key (Inserting time signature information)
Pressing the [F6] key will insert new tempo information in the current measure (the measure indicated in the
