Rotate the JOG dial to enter the desired measure number.
If you wish to keep the initial setting for the first measure,
enter 002. If you try to enter any number other than
001, the time signature indicator shows [- -]. This means
that no time signature is set for any measures other than
the first measure. To change the time signature for the
first measure, follow the steps below, without entering
any other measure number.
Press the HOLD/> key, the REWIND button, or the F FWD
button to display flashing [—] of [-
-] and enter the time
signature using the JOG dial.
The following measure numbers and time signatures can
be entered via the JOG dial.
001-999, selection of [All Clear?]
indication.
[All Clear?] means that data in its entirety
will be cleared. This is used to initialize
the parameter. (Refer to “Clearing stored
time signature/tempo data.”)
Measures
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key whenever you enter
a pair of measure/time signature values.
Repeat this step to specify the necessary time signature
for the measures.
1 4, 2 4, 3 4, 4 4, 5 4, 1 8, 3 8, 5 8,
6 8, 7 8, 8 8, - -
[- -] means no time signature assigned,
and is used to delete time signature data.
(Refer to “Modifying (or deleting) stored
time signatures” for more information.)
Time signatures
Note:
You cannot assign “- -” to measure 001.
To cancel the setting operation, or to exit SETUP mode
after storing data, press the STOP button or the EXIT/
NO key. Each time you press one of these keys, the FD-
8 returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu,
and finally exits SETUP mode.
Modifying (or deleting) stored time signatures
1. Repeat steps 1-3 described in the “Storing a time
signature” section to display [Sign. Edit].
2. Press the HOLD/> key, the REWIND button, or the
F FWD button so that the flashing cursor is on the
time signature value.
3. Use the JOG dial to enter a new value.
Entering [—] deletes the existing data.
Note that you cannot enter [—] for measure 001.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
Caution:
If modifying or deleting the stored time signature
causes the bar/beat setting for the tempo specified in the
“Setting a tempo” menu to disappear, the tempo setting will
also be automatically erased.
To cancel the setting operation, or to exit SETUP mode
after storing data, press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO
key. Each time you press one of these keys, the FD-8
returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and
finally exits SETUP mode.
Clearing all time signature and tempo settings
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.
Caution:
Using this function will erase not only the time
signature setting but also the tempo data specified in the
“Setting a tempo” menu described in the next section.
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-8 returns to the previous hierarchy
level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The stored time signature and tempo data in its entirety
are cleared, and the initial settings are restored.
