(4) Changing the Tempo You can change the tempo of the song as the song is playing on the M.D.R. by holding down the SHIFT button and pressing the TEMPO + or TEMPO - button. (The Tempo dial on the Electone panel cannot be used to change the tempo on the Music Disk Recorder.) Each press of the button slows down or speeds up the tempo by a small amount. Changing the tempo does not change the pitch of the music. To restore the original recording tempo of a song, hold down the SHIFT button and simultaneously press both TEMPO buttons. NOTE: When tempo is changed, the LED display indicates the change as a percentage of the original recording tempo (100). Values less than 100 indicate a slower tempo; values greater than 100 indicate a faster tempo. NOTE: Tempo changes remain in effect even through changes in song number. If you have changed the tempo in one song, you should perform the above step to restore the original tempo before playing another song. Turning the power switch off and on again also restores the original tempo. 82
