5.1 TEMPO MAP

The TEMPO MAP button is used to setup the initial time signature

and tempo for the currently selected song. You can also create changes

in tempo and/or time signature at any bar number in the song. This

information is used for:

• Displaying tape position in bars and beats when BARS Display

Type is selected (see section 1.4B); and,

• Generating MIDI CLOCK and Song-Position Pointer information

for synchronizing an external MIDI sequencer or drum machine

(see section 5.0D).

If you are using a static tempo (that is, one tempo and time signature

for the entire song) , you will only need to set the initial tempo and

time signature at bar one. If you require a more sophisticated tempo

map, you may create time signature changes and/or tempo changes at

any bar. The procedure is always the same: first select the song

position in the Tempo Map display where you want to make a

change, then set the tempo and/or time signature. Only the bar

numbers at which changes occur are saved in the tempo map. When

you go back into the Tempo Map display, you can view the

tempo/time signature changes you've created by simply scrolling

through the bars. Deleting a change is done by making its tempo or

time signature the same as the last change that occurred.

Note: Tempo map information for all songs is stored together in the

same location in memory. There are a total of 100 possible tempo

map entries which are shared by the 20 possible songs. Therefore,

the more changes that occur in a tempo map for one song, the

fewer the possible changes available for the remaining songs.

The location of the beginning of a song (Song Start) is selected using

the SET SONG button (see section 4.6A). This determines the tape

position at which bar one occurs.
