key twice or more at the desired tempo.
The interval between the last two times you pressed the key

The tempo you specify here will apply to all rhythm patterns
played in Rhythm Pattern mode, and to a rhythm song in
which tempo data has not yet been input. (For details on
rhythm songs, refer to p.55.)
If you record on the recorder tracks while listening to the
rhythm patterns, and then later change the tempo of the
rhythm patterns, the two sets of performances will no
longer be synchronized. If you want to record on the
