About the tempo and time signature
Setting the tempo
If you are recording a performance from an instrument or microphone connected to
the INST or MIC jacks, set the tempo before recording.
You can change the tempo for playing back the stored phrase.
* If you change the playback tempo, then store the phrase, the modified tempo will be stored.
If you do not save it, the tempo change will be lost.

1. Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to select the phrase track you wish to use.
If you are recording a new phrase, select the track you wish to record.
2. Press the TAP TEMPO button several times at the desired tempo.
The tempo will be set according to the intervals at which you press the button.
* The tempo can also be set by pressing the right pedal instead of the TAP TEMPO button.
However, the right pedal cannot be used while a phrase is playing.
* You cannot set the tempo for phrases that are looped over an interval shorter than the
minimum recording time (approximately 1.5 seconds).
* If you wish to record a new phrase at the same tempo and time signature as the previously-
selected phrase, press the TAP TEMPO button / right pedal once.
* By starting recording without setting the tempo, you can create a loop phrase without using
the Loop Quantize function.
You can only change the playback tempo of phrases saved to the phrase tracks. To
change the playback tempo of a phrase stored in temporary memory immediately
following overdubbing or recording, save it to a phrase track (p. 29).
