If no tempo data has been input into a rhythm song, it will
play at the tempo that was specified in Rhythm Pattern
mode. In other words if you change the tempo in Rhythm
Pattern mode, the tempo of the rhythm song will also
change.
To prevent this, you can input tempo data at the beginning
of the rhythm song in which the rhythm pattern / chord
data was input, in order to fix a specific tempo for the
rhythm song.
