The Style Tempo
The Tempo of a Style can be changed by rotating the DIAL (PK5 = TEMPO/DATA), either before or after
starting the Style and regardless of the status of the TEMPO LOCK button. (Use the DIAL with care, however,
because in certain situations, this control may affect other parameters; for example, if a Style track is flashing,
the Dial will change the relative Volume).
PK7 PK5
The current tempo can be saved to a Performance. This provides you with another possibility of setting the
Tempo. To recap, you can:
a) select the Style with Single Touch Play active to recall the original Tempo setting stored in ROM,
b) select a Performance to recall a previously memorized Tempo setting.
c) lock the current Tempo setting for all Style changes by activating the Tempo Lock function.
Situations a and b, in fact, do not occur if Tempo Lock is off.
TEMPO LOCK
The TEMPO LOCK function locks the current Style Tempo allowing you to recall Styles without changing the
Tempo, regardless of the status of the Single Touch Play button.
Nevertheless, it is always possible to change the Tempo in real time by rotating the DIAL (TEMPO/DATA +/–
buttons for PK5).
The activation of TEMPO LOCK is shown in the display with the alternate flashing of the Tempo setting and the
word “LOC”.
When Tempo Lock is on, the Tempo setting remains fixed for all subsequent Style and Performance selections.
When TEMPO LOCK is off, the selection of a Style or a Performance recalls the memorized Tempo setting.
SAVING THE TEMPO TO A PERFORMANCE
To save the Tempo setting to a Performance, carry out the following procedure:
1. Select a Performance which you intend to use to save a new Tempo setting.
2. Rotate the DIAL to increase or decrease the Tempo setting.
3. Press the STORE PERFORMANCE button.
4. Press ENTER to confirm the request shown in the display (“?”).
The save operation can also be carried out while the Style is playing.
