VR800 Owner’s Manual (Changing the initial setting: SETUP mode)
Setting a time signature (“Sign. Set ?” menu)
Using the “Setting a time signature” menu, you can set a time signature of a given measure on the internal
programmable Tempo Map. And also in this setting, the BAR (-002BAR, 1
, 00CLK) displayed at the head of the
disk in the time base BAR/BEAT/CLK can be set within the range of -009BAR ~ -002BAR.
For example, you can specify “4/4 for the first and second measures, and 2/4 from the third measure.” Setting
a time signature and tempo will create a Tempo Map, which allows the VR800 to manage a song using the BAR/
BEAT/CLK Time Base. You can also use the Metronome function.
A time signature and tempo setting are required when MIDI clock & Song Position Pointer are output to an
external sequencer.
• Initial setting: [4 4] for bar [001] (not specified for 002 and later.)
• Setting range of measures: [001] - [999]
• Setting range of BAR: [-009BAR] - [-002BAR]
• Setting range of time signatures: [1 4], [2 4], [3 4], [4 4], [5 4], [1 8], [3 8], [5 8], [6 8], [7 8], [8 8], [- -] (delete)
• Max. setting points: 64 points
* You can set time signatures for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.
Storing a time signature
1. Select a Program for which to set a time signature.
Refer to “Using the Program Change function” on page
34 for information on selecting a Program.
2. Press the SETUP key, use the JOG dial to select the
[Sign.Set ?] menu, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The indication changes to [Sign. Chk] and the current
time signature appears. The initial setting is [001BAR 4
4] (4/4 for the first measure).
At this time, rotating the JOG dial clockwise enables you
to check the current time signatures in sequence.
With the initial setting, time signatures after the first
measure are all [---BAR- -]. This means that a time
signature of 4/4 applies to all measures.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The indication changes to [Sign. Edit] and [001 (measure)]
of [001BAR 4 4] flashes. You can enter any time signature
here.
• 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.)

You cannot assign “- -” to measure 001.
