Changing the Tempo Within
the Song
You can add tempo changes to a recorded composition.
The KF-90 stores song tempo information and performance
data separately. Therefore, when making changes to the
tempo in a song, you must record the changes in the tempo
information independently of the performance data.
This recording of the tempo is called “Tempo Recording.”
