Section 3: Recording sequences 65
The following is a description of each of these 4 fields:
• CHANGE#:
This field displays the number of the tempo change currently
displayed. There may be many tempo changes within the sequence,
but only one may be viewed at a time. By changing this number,
each of the existing tempo changes may be viewed. The
<Previous> and <Next> soft keys may also be used to decrement
or increment this field.
• BAR#:
This field shows the location within the sequence where the
currently displayed tempo change will occur. This is a
"bar.beat.clock" field.
• %CHANGE:
This field shows the amount of tempo change which the currently
displayed tempo will produce, as a percentage of the main starting
tempo (either master or sequence). Tempo changes are always
specified as a percentage of the main starting tempo setting, (not the
previous tempo change) regardless of whether the SEQUENCE or
MASTER tempo setting is currently active. This way, all tempo
changes are automatically re-scaled when the main tempo setting
(either sequence or master) is changed.
• "=TEMPO":
This field displays the actual tempo which will play once the tempo
change is active, in addition to the percentage. This number is
automatically computed from the displayed percentage of change
times the main playing tempo (either master or sequence).
So, to view the entire list of tempo changes, simply change the CHANGE#
field and notice the different settings of the other 3 fields as you change it.
Even if no changes have been entered, every sequence has one change- to
100% at bar 1. This is because the current tempo setting is always returned
to when the sequence plays bar 1, whether it does so by playing from the
start or by looping back to the start.
To insert a new tempo change, first enter the location within the sequence
where you want the change to occur into the LOCATION FOR
INSERTED CHANGE field, which is a bar.beat.clock field. Then, press the
<Insert new> soft key. Immediately, a new tempo change will be inserted
into the list and will be displayed on the screen with a default value in the
%CHANGE field of 100%. You must now enter a percentage of the main
starting tempo. However, as you enter the percentage, the "=TEMPO" field
will show the actual tempo. For example, to insert a tempo change to 60
BPM at bar 5 from a main starting tempo setting of 120 BPM, you must
insert a
