Changing the Record Tempo
The MDF3 automatically records sequence data at a default tempo of 120 beats per
minute. The SEQ data files that you record will be played back at this default tempo
unless you change the playback tempo using the
FILE DATA
keys. If you wish , you
can use the “Record Tempo” function to set the tempo setting of a file before you
start recording it.
1. In JOB mode, select
“03: Record Tempo”.
When you press the
START/STOP
key,
the current record tempo setting will ap-
pear in the LCD.
Note:
Whenever the MDF3’s power is turned
on, the record tempo value is automatically
set to the default value of 120 beats per
minute.
2. Select the desired tempo.
To increase the tempo, press the
FILE
DATA [+]
key. To decrease it, press the
FILE DATA [–]
key. The tempo can be
changed within a range from 30 to 250
beats per minute.
3. Start recording
When you begin recording data in SEQ
mode, the tempo you set here will be
recorded at the start of the file as the SEQ
file’s playback tempo.
Hint:
When you record sequence data played back by a sequencer, you should set the record
tempo to a value equal to that used by the sequencer.
When recording data from a keyboard or other digital instrument, you can use this function to
record fast musical phrases that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to play. This can
be done by setting a faster playback tempo.
