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 afterward
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 a convenient way to record
from the beginning of the song. (→p.43)
2. Specify the time signature of the song.
If the time signature changes during the song, create
a tempo map event at each location where the time
signature changes (→p.72 “Tempo map”). You will
not be able to set the tempo of the tempo map event
in this case.
3. If you wish to use a foot switch to input the tap
tempo, connect a foot switch such as the PS-1
(separately sold option) to the [FOOT SW] jack of
the D1600mkII.
4. Select the tempo recording method.
In the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “TmpTrk” tab page,
select either “MeasTap” (tap at the beginning of each
measure), or “BeatTap” (tap at the beginning of each
beat).
5. Record the tap tempo.
Press the “RecStart” button to put the D1600mkII in
record-ready mode.
Press either the [PLAY] key or the foot switch, and
playback and recording will begin simultaneously.
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 tempo. A counter
will be displayed while tempo is being recorded.
When pressing the [PLAY] key to record taps, do
not strike the key with excessive force. Doing so
may cause the hard disk or other components to
malfunction.
6. Stop recording.
After entering 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 you input taps only part-way through the song, the
tempo of the last-input measure or beat will be auto-
matically copied until the end of the song.
7. Select the tempo track as the tempo source.
Access the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “SetUp” tab page.
