Entering Repeats (EX: repeat part 3, 3 times)
A number of repeats can be programmed in one song, and
repeats can be “nested”–i.e. repeats can be programmed
within repeats–to create complex progressions.
Tempo
The operation of the TEMPO function in the song mode is
identical to the TEMPO function in the pattern mode–see
“Tempo” in the “PATTERN OPERATIONS” section.
Programming Tempo Changes
This function makes it possible to program tempo changes
to occur at any point during a song. Tempo changes are
entered as an increase or decrease in tempo relative to the
current tempo–determined by the TEMPO control, the
TEMPO function, or a previous TEMPO CHANGE function.
For example, if the current tempo is 100 and a tempo change
of “20 UP” is encountered, the new tempo will be 120. If
a tempo change of “40 DOWN” is then encountered, the
tempo will drop to 80.
The TEMPO CHANGE function is used in the edit mode.
Locate the part IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the desired tempo
change using the –1/NO and +1/YES buttons, then press the
TEMPO CHANGE button. The LCD panel will respond
with “TEMPO IS 00 UP”. The –1/NO and +1/YES buttons
are then used to set the desired tempo change. Pressing
either the –1/NO or +1/YES button once, quickly, decre-
ments or increments the tempo change by one, respectively.
Holding the –1/NO or +1/YES button down causes con-
tinuous incrementing or decrementing in the specified
direction. Once the desired tempo change has been set, press
the TEMPO CHANGE button again to return to the normal
edit mode.
Programming Tempo Changes
(EX: Increase tempo by 20 after part 3)
Locate part 3 using
Note that if you now increment through the parts, a “TEMPO
IS XX UP” or “TEMPO IS XX DOWN” message will appear
immediately after the. part at which the tempo change
function was called (“XX” is the selected tempo change
value). Tempo changes can be deleted in the same way as
parts, by locating the tempo message and using the delete
function (see “The Delete Function”, above). A number of
tempo changes can be programmed in one song.
Accelerando or ritardando effects can be produced by placing
a number of small tempo changes between successive parts.
To save programming time, tempo changes can be used in
conjuction with repeats. For example, to produce a ritar-
dando effect the tempo change and repeat functions could
be combined as follows:
“PART 001 = PTN 01” “TEMPO IS 02 DOWN”
“REPT for 09 to 001”
