TEMPO
The DMX defaults to a tempo of 80 Beats per Minute, but can be
varied within a range of 25 to 250 Beats per Minute. You can change
the tempo at any time by entering the tempo mode. Press TEMPO. The
display will show the tempo currently selected. You can change the
tempo by pressing the buttons with the arrows to increase or
decrease the tempo, or you can enter the desired Beats per Minute on
the keypad. To exit the tempo mode press TEMPO once again.
When recording a sequence, the DMX will store the tempo with the
sequence. Whenever that sequence is recalled, the DMX will recall
the tempo as well. You may change the tempo, but it will only
update the programmed tempo when the tempo is changed in record.
Example 4: Setting the Tempo to 105 Beats per Minute

** NOTE: **
Not every tempo marking between 25 and 250 Beats per Minute can be
played. Near the high end of this range the tempo steps are larger
than one Beat per Minute. If you enter a tempo which cannot be
played, the display will show an exclamation point ("!") to inform
you that the DMX is playing the nearest valid tempo to the one which
you entered. Also, if you try to RECORD an invalid tempo, the DMX
will actually record the nearest valid one.
If you enter a number that is out of the tempo range, a question
mark ("?") will appear on the display. You must set the tempo to be
in range before you can exit from the tempo mode.
The arrow buttons will always step between valid tempos.
