CHANGING THE TEMPO.
You can change the tempo whether the pattern is playing or stopped. Each
Preset pattern is programmed with an “initial tempo”. When you select a
pattern, the pattern’s initial tempo will be loaded.
To change the current tempo setting, hold [MODE] and press [TEMPO] to
enter Tempo Mode.
The word “TEMPO” will display in the lower left area of the LCD, and the
current tempo value will be flashing. Press [-1] and [+1] to specify a new
tempo value. The playback tempo can be set to any value from 40 to 250
beats per minute.
To exit Tempo mode hold [MODE] and press [PATTERN].
CHANGING THE BACKING CHORD.
You can change the chord root and chord type for the backing while the pattern
is stopped or while it is playing. All backing tracks will automatically change to
play in the designated chord.
To change the backing chord, you must first select Chord Assign by
pressing [CHORD]. A small, flashing black inverted triangle indicator will
appear above the Chord Root in the upper left area of the LCD.
