SONG OPERATIONS
TEMPO CHANGE FUNCTION
FUNCTION то enter gradual tempo changes into a selected Song.
This function allows you to enter a graduai change of tempo in a Song. The tempo сап
increase (accelerando) or decrease (ritardando). You can.set the overall range of the
Tempo Change, and the duration of the change.
А Tempo Change counts as a Part of a Song.
* If you enter a Tempo Change during a repeat section, the Tempo Change will also
be repeated, allowing you to make a gradual Tempo Change over a long period
(longer than the maximum of 99 quarter-notes which can be set for a single Tempo
Change).
NOTE: When you play a Song that contains a Tempo Change, the final tempo of the
Song will be different from the initial tempo. If vou have not set an Initial Tempo for a
Song, and you immediately play the Song again, it will commence play at the new tempo.
Therefore, it is recommended that you always set the Initial tempo for a Song. Refer to
JOB #04: INITIAL TEMPO.

4. Use the Numeric Key Pad to set the value of the Tempo Change. Range: 0-99

NOTE: The оуегай Tempo range ої the RX5 is 40—250 quarter-notes/minute. The
Tempo Change function can NOT alter the tempo beyond these limits.
5. Press ACCENT 2 to move the cursor to the Tempo Change duration position, and
use the Numeric Key Pad to enter the Tempo Change duration. Range: 0--99
quarter-notes.
You can use the ACCENT 2 key to move the cursor back and forth, to reset the two
Tempo Change parameters, as needed.
6. The Tempo Change is now set, and you can press +1/YES to move on to the next
Part and continue editing, or press PATTERN/SONG to exit the Edit Song Mode.
e Tempo Changes can be entered AFTER all the Pattern numbers have been entered
for a Song. Refer to the INSERT FUNCTION (described earlier in this chapter) and
enter the Tempo Change in the normal way, after pressing the INSERT key.
Remember that a Tempo Change will create a new Part, and move all subsequent
Parts forward.
VOLUME CHANGE FUNCTION
FUNCTION т. enter а volume change at any point in a Song.
This function allows you to enter a volume change at any location in a Song. The volume
can increase or decrease. This can be used to add subtle dynamics to a Song, or for
more pronounced or sudden volume changes. You could also enter a Volume Chnage
at the start of a Song, to alter the overall level of the whole Song.
A Volume Change counts as a Part of a Song.
* If you enter a Volume Change during a repeat section, the Volume Change will also
be repeated, allowing you to make a gradual Volume Change over a long period. You
could, for example, set a single Pattern to repeat at the end of a Song, together with
a slight volume decrease. This would create a "fade-out". The opposite approach
(repeating Patterns at start of a Song, with slight volume increase) would create a
"fade-in".
OPERATION
1. Press PATTERN/SONG until the LCD indicates Song Mode, then use the Numeric
Key Pad to select a Song.
2. Press REAL TIME WRITE/EDIT SONG to enter the Edit Song Mode, and start editing
a Song. When you reach the point at which the Volume Change is needed press
EDIT PATTERN/VOLUME CHANGE.
