Clearing all time signature and tempo settings
Setting a tempo
The “Setting a tempo” menu enables you to specify a tempo
at a given point in a song that already has a time signature
setting. For example, you can specify a tempo of 150 to the
third beat of the 12th measure.
Time signature and tempo settings make a Tempo Map,
which is used by the FD-4 to manage the song using the
BAR/BEAT/CLK Time Base, and enable the Metronome func-
tion. Tempo settings as well as time signature settings are
required when you wish to output MIDI clock and Song
Position Pointer to an external sequencer.

Set?” menu, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
Indication on the display changes as shown below, and
the current tempo appears. The initial setting is [001 BAR

TEMPO 120]. This means that a tempo for the first
beat of the first measure is set to 120.
<Caution>
Using this function will erase not only the time signature setting but
also the tempo data specified in the “Setting a tempo” menu de-
scribed in the next section.
1. Repeat steps 1–3 described in the “Storing a time
signature” section to display “Sign.Edit.”
2. While the measure number is flashing, turn the JOG dial
counter-clockwise to select “All Clear?.”
When “All Clear?” appears, “SURE?” flashes, and you can
clear the time signature and tempo data in the next step.
To cancel the All Clear operation, press the STOP button
or the EXIT/NO key now. Each time you press one of these
keys, the FD-4 returns to the previous hierarchy level of

are cleared, and the initial settings are restored.
