Setting a tempo map
When an external device, such as a MIDI sequencer, synchronizes to the Song Position Pointer and the MIDI
clock transmitted from the DPS16, the tempo settings of the MIDI sequencer are ignored and it runs by the tempo
information from the DPS16. Therefore, you must specify the tempo of the MIDI clock on the DPS16 using the
tempo map. (See page 134 for more information on the sync operation using MIDI clock.)
