Restoring the Default Tempo Value

Each song and style has been given a default or standard

tempo. If you’ve changed the tempo, you can restore the

original default setting by pressing both OVERALL +/-

buttons simultaneously (when Tempo is selected in the

Overall menu).

Selecting and Playing Songs — The Song Mode

Also, the tempo of a song or style returns to the

default setting when selecting a different song

or style. (The set tempo remains, however,

when switching styles during playback except

when OTS is on.) When you turn on the power

of the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set

to 116 bpm.

Change the value.

Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease

the Tempo value. Holding down either button con-

tinuously increases or decreases the value.

About the Beat Display

This section of the display provides a convenient,

easy-to-understand indication of the rhythm — for

song and style playback. The flashing “handclap”

icons indicate both the downbeats and upbeats of

a measure as follows:
