3. Before starting the Style, make sure that the Volume and Tempo settings
are appropriate.
Volume Settings
Use the RHYTHM touch control to adjust the drum/percussion volume, and use the
BASS/CHORD touch control to adjust the volume of the bass and chord accompaniment. The
controls have seven volume settings, from a minimum of 0, or no sound, to a maximum of full
volume. (Both of these settings can also be adjusted from the Style Condition page;
see page 51.)
Tempo Settings
Use the TEMPO controls to change the tempo (speed) of the Style.
TEMPO B/A controls
These adjust the speed of the Style. Press the TEMPOAbutton to increase the tempo, and the
TEMPOBbutton to decrease it. To reset the tempo to its preset (default) value, press both
buttons simultaneously.
TEMPO and BAR/BEAT indicator
This shows the current tempo. (Displayed values are given in beats per minute, just as on a
conventional metronome.) The tempo range is 40 to 240 beats per minute.
While the Style is playing, the TEMPO display changes function to a BAR/BEAT indicator.
The number on the left indicates the current bar or measure and
the one on the right indicates the number of the beat in each bar.
The beat indicator lamp above the display also flashes at the first
beat of every measure while a Style is playing. When a Style is in
stand-by (after pressing SYNCHRO START, or after pausing the
Style with the left footswitch, for example), the lamp flashes at
every beat, to visually indicate the tempo.
