SONG EDIT MODE /

TRACK EDIT

• tmp (Tempo change)

This event indicates a tempo change to occur over a specified number of

beats. The numbers above the [CS4] slider define the tempo change: the

number to the left of the slash (-99 … 0 … +99, or atmp for “a tempo”) sets

the number of beats per minute by which the tempo will decrease or increase,

and the number to the right of the slash (0 … 99) sets the number of beats

from the “tmp” mark over which the change will occur. A setting of “+20/8”,

for example, would increase the tempo by 20 beats per minute over 8 beats (2

measures of 4/4 time). The [F4] function key is used to toggle the cursor

between the left and right numbers, and [CS4] is used to change the selected

number.

• mark (Search mark)

This sets one of 16 markers to be used by the rhythm track search function

described on page 165. [CS4] is used to specify the marker (A … P).

The [F5] through [F8] function keys are used to access the rhythm track

edit functions described below:

This function is used to insert a new part at any point in an existing rhythm

track. Press [F5] to engage the rhythm track insert function after locating the

desired insert point via the main rhythm track edit screen, described above.

Then use [CS3] and [CS4] to specify the event to be inserted. The event types

that can be inserted and their parameters are exactly the same as those de-

scribed for the main rhythm track edit screen, above. Once the event to be

inserted has been specified, press [ENTER/YES] to begin the insert procedure.

The following confirmation display will appear:

Press [ENTER/YES] again to confirm that you want to go ahead with the

insert operation, or press [EXIT/NO] to cancel.

When the event has been inserted, “Completed!” will appear briefly on the

display, then the display will return to the main rhythm track edit mode.
