The
tempo change must be entered before the repeat.
Basically, the tempo change range is +50. Larger tempo
changes can be programmed, however, by entering two
consecutive tempo changes. The only restriction is that the
total tempo range of the RX11 is from 40 to 250, and no
tempo change can exceed these limits.

Song Clear

Single songs can be cleared by selecting the song to be
cleared and then pressing the CLEAR button. To confirm
your intention to clear the pattern the RX11 LCD panel
will respond with "CLEAR SONG XX?"–where "XX"
is the number of the selected song. Press the +1/YES button
to clear the song, or the –1/NO button to cancel the clear
function.
Song Clear (Single)
Select song number to be cleared
All songs in memory–0 through 9–can be cleared simul-
taneously if necessary. This is a "hidden function" in the
sense that it cannot be accessed directly–in order to prevent
accidental erasure of the entire song memory contents.
First, press the CLEAR button from the song mode. After
the "CLEAR SONG XX?" display appears, simultaneously
press the ACCENT button and STOP/CONTINUE button.
The LCD panel will respond with "CLEAR ALL SONGS?"
to confirm your intention to clear all songs. Press +1/YES
to clear the song memory, or press the –1/NO button to
cancel the clear function.
The "clear all songs" function initializes the song memory,
and can be used to restore normal operation should an
operation error cause the RX11 software to malfunction.
Save the song memory contents onto a cassette tape (see
"CASSETTE OPERATIONS" section) to prevent loss of
songs you wish to keep.

The Chain Function

The chain function makes it possible to connect up to 18
songs to be connected together for continuous playback,
permitting creation of drum tracks for extremely long
compositions. The chain mode is initially activated by
pressing the CHAIN button in the song mode–the LCD
panel will respond with "SONG CHAIN MODE", and the
LED display will read "CH"–then any of the three available
chain functions can be called. The three functions are:
1. CHAIN EDIT: this function lets you specify the sequence
of songs to be played.
2. CHAIN CLEAR: this function clears the entire pro-
grammed chain.
3. CHAIN PLAY: this function plays the programmed
chain.
Chain edit
The chain edit function is activated by pressing the EDIT
button in response to the "SONG CHAIN MODE" display.
The LCD panel will then read "STEP 01 = SONG **",
prompting you to input the number of the first song in the
chain. The song number is entered by pressing the appropriate
number button. Once the first song number has been entered,
go on to step 2 by pressing the +1/YES button, and enter
the second song in the same way. Up to 18 steps (songs)
can be entered. The +1/YES and –1/NO buttons can be
used to scroll forward and backward through the chain,
permitting alteration of already-entered song numbers when
necessary. The chain edit mode can be reentered at any
time for editing purposes. Return to the "SONG CHAIN
MODE" display by pressing the EDIT button.
Chain clear
The entire programmed chain can be cleared by pressing the
CLEAR button in response to the "SONG CHAIN MODE"
display. The LCD pannel will respond with "CLEAR CHAIN
?". Press +1/YES to clear the chain or –1/NO to cancel
the clear function.
