Changing the Tempo
• When style playback is stopped
and a different style is selected,
the tempo returns to the default
setting of the new style. When
switching styles during play-
back, the last tempo setting is
maintained. (This allows you to
keep the same tempo, even
when changing styles.)

Restoring the Default Tempo
Value
Each song and style has been
given a default or standard Tempo
setting. If you’ve changed the
Tempo, you can instantly restore
the default setting by pressing both
[+]/[–] buttons simultaneously
(when Tempo is selected).
• You can also use the convenient
Tap Tempo function to change
the tempo by “tapping” a new
one in real time. (See page 35.)
About the Beat Display
This section of the display provides a convenient, easy-
to-understand indication of the rhythm — for song and
style playback. The flashing “metronome” icons indi-
cate both the downbeats and upbeats of a measure as fol-
lows:
Indicates the first beat of the measure
(downbeat)
Indicates an upbeat
Indicates a downbeat
(other than the first beat)
