2-2. Time Signature Setting ("Signature Set?")
This mode sets up the time signature of a song.
The way it sets this up is, for example, to start a song with a 4/4 beat from the first bar,
then to change it to a 2/4 beat at bar number 17. The time signature and next section
tempo setting make up a tempo map. After the tempo map is figured out by completing
the time signature and tempo setting, the D-160 will be able to handle "BAR /BEAT/
CLOCK" and the metronome function. You need to set up the time signature and tempo
to generate the MIDI Clock & Song Position Pointer.
* Refer to page "117" for details of "MIDI Clock Synchronization".
<Note>
The D-160 will still run the time counter in PLAY mode even after the ABS END. Thus, it will
continue generating the MIDI Clock & Song Position Pointer even if you have not recorded
anything, provided a tempo map has been set up.
* Initial Setting: 001Bar 4/4 Beat
* Available bars: 001 ~ 999
* Available time signature: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8, - -/- - (Delete)
* Maximum setting points : 64
* The setting is applicable song by song.
* The setting can be saved or loaded as a part of the song data
* The setting is memorized even when the power is off.
* Make sure you choose the right program before setting this mode.
1. Press the DISP SEL key and choose the flashing SETUP mode on the display. Then, press the
EXECUTE/YES key.
The SETUP display stops flashing.
2. Choose "Signature Set?" with the JOG dial. The "?" display will start flashing.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The D-160 will display "SIGNATURE" and the last recalled bar number with the time signature
that has been registered. In the case of the initial setting, as only the first bar is registered with
a 4/4 beat, it will show "001 bar • 4/4 beat".
Time Signature Setting Check
4. Turn the JOG dial when the D-160 displays "SIGNATURE".
If there are some setting changes registered in a song, you can see the next set up point by
rotating the JOG dial clockwise. ("*** bar */* )
If you turn the JOG dial fully clockwise, "- - BAR - -/- - " will be displayed.
This means there are no more time signature changing points registered.
<Note>
The D-160 counts a beat with the last registered time signature, i.e. one bar before the "- - bar
- -/- - " . In the case of the initial setting, because only the first bar is registered with a 4/4
beat, the beat counts with a 4/4 beat until the end unless you register a different time
signature after the second bar.

5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key when the D-160 displays "SIGNATURE".
