5.2. Project management
5.2.1. Saving a Project
!: When you follow these instructions you will overwrite the selected Project and all of its patterns.
Be sure this is what you want to do! If not, be sure to find out which memory location is available and
store the Project there instead.
Once you have chosen a Project location,
• Hold the SAVE button
• Press the PROJECT button and hold it
• Press the desired Step button number.
To recall this Project later follow the steps described in the Loading a Project [p.49] section
above.
5.2.2. Copying a Project
You can also copy a Project from one location to another, even if no edits have been made.
To do this, simply follow the same steps described above in the Saving a Project [p.50]
section above, and select a new location number instead of the original number.
5.3. Tempo
The RATE/FINE encoder controls the Tempo value, which is stored per Project. It’s also
possible to override the per-Project settings with a Global tempo using the MIDI Control
Center [p.84] (see the Tempo [p.50]) section there.
5.3.1. Fine-tuning of the Tempo
If you want to change the tempo in increments smaller than 1 bpm (to 100.33 bpm, for
example), hold the SHIFT button and turn the RATE/FINE encoder clockwise. Once you’ve
reached the desired value between .00 and .99, release the SHIFT button.
To reset the fine-tune value to zeroes, turn the RATE/FINE encoder without holding the SHIFT
button.
5.3.2. Tap tempo
You can set the tempo of your Project using the TAP/METRO button. All you have to do is tap
the button at the desired rate and the tempo will change to match your rhythm.
♪: Tap tempo will not function when the BeatStep Pro is set to one of the external sync sources.
You can set the number of taps [p.50] it takes to set the Tempo using the MIDI Control Center
[p.84].
