Before you begin recording a phrase, you may want to set a tempo at which 
you want to record the loop at. Setting the tempo in an empty loop memory 
location automatically starts playing the rhythm guide track (Rhythm Level 
must be turned up to hear the guide track). You can use the rhythm guide 
track as a metronome for recording against to help keep a consistent tempo 
of your performance. To set the tempo for recording, follow these steps:
 
  Use the 1.  SELECT knob to select a new memory location.  (The LOOP 
LED and SINGLE LED will be off.)
  Tap the 2.  TEMPO/STOP footswitch at least 2 times (4 or more times is 
recommended). The TEMPO/STOP footswitch LED will begin flashing 
at the tempo that has been tapped in. The first downbeat of the 
measure flashes red and the other beats flash green.
  Turn up the 3.  RHYTHM LEVEL knob (if it hasn’t been already) to hear the 
rhythm guide track. 
  To begin recording, press the 4.  REC/PLAY/OVERDUB footswitch and begin 
playing. 
If you want to set up a memory location with a tempo but not record to it, 
you can just follow steps 1 and 2, but you must then store the new tempo 
using the Store procedure. When you return to the empty loop location, the 
tempo will already be set as indicated by the TEMPO/STOP footswitch LED 
flashing.
