Note: The tempo map is saved independently for each song. When you select a song, the tempo map that has been programmed for that song will be loaded automatically. However, please be aware that the number of tempo maps that can be stored on a disc is limited, and will depend on the number of steps that have been programmed. If a display of "Save Warn!" appears when you update a tempo map, the disc area provided for tempo maps has been used up. Note: A tempo map can be saved only on an MD DATA disc. It cannot be saved on a MiniDisc. -Owner's Manual
