Using the Pads MULTI REPEAT PERC. BREAK TEMPO SYNCHRO MODE SELECT The TEMPO Mode To engage the TEMPO mode, press the [MODE SELECT] button a few times until the TEMPO indicator lights. The functions of the pads in the TEMPO mode are indicated by labels below each pad: G Tempo Change REC/STOP 1 Tempo Change G Tap Start 2 Tap Start G Tempo I (Tempo Primo) 3 Tempo l G accel. (Accelerando) 4 accel. 34 If you press this pad while holding the [REC/STOP] button, the tempo at that instant is registered in memory. The registered tempo can then be recalled at any time, regardless of the current tempo, simply by pressing the [Tempo Change] pad. If this pad is used during an accelerando or ritardando (described below), the accelerando or ritardando stops immediately and the [Tempo Change] value DETAIL takes effect. While the accompaniment is stopped, or during the SYNCHRO START mode before the accompaniment is started, the [Tap Start] pad can be used to set any desired tempo (within the PSR-5700's 40 to 280 beats per minute range) by simply tapping on the pad at the required tempo. Tap 4 times for an accompaniment with a 4/4 time signature, 3 times for 3/4, and 5 times for 5/4. If the accompaniment is started before the required number of taps has been entered, the Tap Start setting will be ignored. The Tap Start setting will also be DETAIL ignored if several seconds elapse before the required number of taps have been entered, if a different style is selected, or if the accompaniment [STOP] button is pressed. If the [Tempo I] pad is tapped while an accompaniment is playing, the tempo setting that was active when the accompaniment was started is immediately restored, regardless of any tempo changes that occurred after the accompaniment was started. If this pad is used during an accelerando or ritardando (described below), the accelerando or ritardando stops immediately and the [Tempo I] value takes DETAIL effect. Pressing the [accel.] pad immediately starts a 2-measure accelerando (tempo increase) that is executed by increasing the tempo by a small amount on every 8th beat. The accelerando is stopped if the [accel.] pad is pressed again before the 2 measures are completed.
