If MIDI clock messages are not being transmitted
correctly from the MIDI sequencer, tempo record-
ing may end prematurely.
Recording tap tempo
While playing back a song, you can press (tap) the
[PLAY] key at the beginning of each measure or beat to
record a tempo. Alternatively, you can use a foot switch
(separately sold option) instead of the [PLAY] key.
Tap tempo can be used to record the tempo after you
have recorded a song. By recording the tempo after-
ward for a song that contains no tempo settings, you
can do the following things.
• Edit tracks in units of a measure
• Synchronize external MIDI devices
1 Prepare the audio for which you wish to record
the tempo.
First, the audio for which you wish to record
tempo data must be recorded from the beginning
of the song.
Trigger recording is convenient when recording
from the beginning of the song. (→p.73)
2 Set the tempo map to specify the time signature.
If the source whose tempo you wish to record has a
time signature that changes during the song, you
must create tempo maps at locations where the
time signature changes. (→“Tempo map”)
If the time signature changes during the song, it
will be detected as an incorrect tempo unless you
have created a tempo map that matches the
changes in time signature. There is no need to spec-
ify the tempo.
3 If you wish to use a foot switch to input the tap
tempo, connect a PS-1 foot switch etc. (separately
sold option) to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack of the
D16.
4 Select the type of tempo track that you wish to
record.
In the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “TmpTrk” tab page,
select either “MeasTap” (tap at the beginning of
each measure), or “BeatTap” (tap at each beat).
5 Record the tap data.
• Press the “RecStart” button to put the D16 in
record-ready mode.
• Press either the [PLAY] key or the foot switch,
and playback and recording will begin simulta-
neously.
• While listening to the playback, press either the
[PLAY] key or the foot switch at the intervals
you selected in step 4, to record the tap data. A
counter will be displayed while tap data is
being recorded.
When pressing the [PLAY] key to record taps, do
not strike the key with excessive force. Doing so
will cause the hard disk to malfunction.
6 Stop recording taps.
On the last tap, press the [STOP] key to end.
For example if you are recording four measures of
4/4 time, you would tap 4 times for “MeasTap” or
16 times for “BeatTap,” and press the [STOP] key
at the beginning of measure 5.
If the song tempo is essentially constant, you can
input taps to part-way through the song, and the
tempo of the last-input measure or beat will be
automatically copied until the end of the song.
7 Specify the tempo track as the tempo source.
• Select the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “SetUp” tab
page.
• Press “T
empoSource,” and rotate the [VALUE]
dial to select “TempoTrk.”
