Playing it backwards
The Reverse function lets you completely turn the Pattern around, and play all the notes backwards.
Before you start the Pattern (or during playback, if you want), simply press the [REVERSE] button.

Changing the bpm
Now, that you’ve got a Pattern playing, try changing its speed. (This is also called “bpm” — beats per
minute.) The DX200 gives you two ways to do this — tapping out the speed manually, or using the [DATA]
knob to adjust it.
1 Tap the [TAP] button three or four times at the desired speed.
The new bpm is shown in the display. The [TAP] button and BPM lamp flash in time.
2 If you want, adjust the bpm by turning the [DATA]
knob.
3 Press the Start/Stop button to start the Pattern at the
new bpm.
You can also change the bpm while the Pattern is playing. To do this, simply
start the Pattern before step #1 above.
