Connectors and User Interface
2. TEMPO Button
The TEMPO button provides the following functions:
• Tempo Indication – When a song part is empty and the metronome is on, or if a song part is not
empty, the TEMPO LED will flash at the rate of the current song tempo. The TEMPO LED will light red for
the first beat of the bar (during playback), dim green for the subsequent beats, then bright green for
the subsequent beats of the last bar. If the tempo of a song is changed, the subsequent beats will light
amber instead of green to indicate the change. Note that the TEMPO button can be pressed and held to
store the new tempo of the song.
• Metronome – With an empty part selected, press and hold the TEMPO button for ~2 seconds to turn
the metronome on or off. See 'Using the Metronome' on page 11 for more information.
• Tap Tempo – Tap the TEMPO button at the rate of the desired tempo to change the tempo of a song.
• Update Nominal Tempo – If the tempo of a song is altered using the TEMPO button or TEMPO knob,
it will not be automatically stored to the song. To store the updated tempo, press and hold the TEMPO
button for ~2 seconds. This will store the new tempo setting as the nominal (center detent TEMPO
knob) setting.
See 'Adjusting the Tempo' on page 21 for more information.
