Using rhythm arrangements
Rev0.02
The tempo set for Pattern mode (p. 158, p. 173, p. 187)
and the tempo set for Arrangement mode are handled
separately.
Setting the tempo using [TAP]
In addition to setting the tempo using [CURSOR] and the
TIME/VALUE dial, you can also set it by tapping your finger
on [TAP] at the desired tempo. (Tap Tempo)
This feature proves extremely useful when you want to
match the playback tempo to that of an audio CD but don’t
know the actual BPM value.
To set the tempo in this way, tap your finger on [TAP] four
times with approximately the same interval between each
tap. The tempo will be set based on the average tapping
interval.
