G faster 5 faster G a tempo 6 a tempo G slower 7 slower G rit. (Ritardando) 8 rit. Using the Pads Tap the [faster] pad to increase the tempo by a fixed amount, whether the accompaniment is playing or not. If this pad is used during an accelerando or ritardando, the accelerando or ritardando stops immediately and the [faster] value takes effect. DETAIL This pad recalls the tempo prior to the last tempo change - e.g. any change incurred by pressing the [Tempo Change], [accel.], [faster], [slower], or [rit.] pad. If this pad is used during an accelerando or ritardando, the accelerando or ritardando stops immediately and the [a tempo] value takes effect. DETAIL Tap the [slower] pad to decrease the tempo by a fixed amount, whether the accompaniment is playing or not. If this pad is used during an accelerando or ritardando, the accelerando or ritardando stops immediately and the [slower] value takes effect. DETAIL Pressing the [rit.] pad immediately starts a 2-measure ritardando (tempo decrease) that is executed by decreasing the tempo by a small amount on every 8th beat. The ritardando is stopped if the [rit.] pad is pressed again before the 2 measures are completed. The [PAD 8/rit.] pad has essentially the same effect on the tempo as the [ENDING/rit.] pad (page 23), except that while the [ENDING/rit.] pad causes the DETAIL tempo to return to its initial value after the rhythm stops, the tempo does not return to its initial value if the [PAD 8/rit.] pad is used, even after the rhythm is stopped. If a fill-in pattern is selected during a ritardando, the ritardando continues during the fill-in but then original tempo is then restored as soon as the fill-in ends. DETAIL The TEMPO SYNCHRO Function MULTI REPEAT PERC. BREAK TEMPO SYNCHRO MODE SELECT If you press the button immediately to the right of the pad [MODE SELECT] button so that the indicator above it lights while the TEMPO mode is engaged, the TEMPO SYNCHRO function is engaged - any tempo change initiated by a TEMPO pad takes place at the beginning of the next measure instead of immediately when the pad is tapped (TEMPO SYNCHRO has no effect on Tap Start operation). The SYNCHRO mode is turned off by pressing the button to the right of the [MODE SELECT] button again. 35
