Adjusting the Tempo
Here’s how to change the playback tempo of the pattern.
1. Press the [TIME/BPM] button so it’s lit .
MEMO
If the [SELECT] button is lit, you’ll be changing the pattern’s tempo. If
the [SELECT] button is extinguished, you’ll be changing the current
sample’s tempo.
2.
Turn the [CTRL 2] knob .
The display will indicate the tempo in terms of the BPM, and the pattern playback
tempo will change.
Permissible values for the BPM range from 40 up to 200. However, if the BPM is
within the 40–60 or 160–180 ranges, it can be set only in even-numbered values.
If the BPM is above 180, you can set it to either 180, 183, 186, 190, 193, 196, or
200.
You can also set the tempo by pressing the
[TAP TEMPO] button several times at quarter note
intervals of the desired tempo.
3. Once you’ve specified the tempo, press the [TIME/BPM] button to turn it off .
What’s BPM?
This stands for Beats Per Minute, which is the number of quarter-note beats played in one minute.
