5 Record the MIDI Clock data.
• Press the "RecStart" button and press the [ENTER]
key to put the D1200 in record-ready mode.
• Start your MIDI sequencer.
• When the MIDI Clock data from the MIDI sequencer
begins arriving, the display will indicate "Receiving-
MIDIClock."
6 When the MIDI sequencer has finished playing, stop the
MIDI sequencer.
When recording is completed on the D1200, the display
will indicate "Complete."
Press the [YES/OK] key.
7 Select the Tempo Track as the tempo source.
• Access the [RHYTHM] "SetUp" tab page.
• Select "TempoSource," and turn the [VALUE] dial to
specify "TempoTrk."
If MIDI Clock data was not received correctly from your
MIDI sequencer, recording may stop in the middle of
the song.
Tap tempo
You can record the tempo by pressing (tapping) the
[PLAY] key at the beginning of each measure or on each
beat while the song plays.
You can use a PS-1 foot switch (sold separately) instead
of the [PLAY] key.
Tap tempo lets you record the tempo after a song has
already been recorded. If you record tempo for a song
for which you did not originally specify the tempo, you
will be able to do the following things.
• Edit tracks in units of measures
• Connect and synchronize external MIDI devices
1 Prepare the audio for which you want to record the
tempo.
Record the audio from the beginning of the song.
When recording from the beginning of the song, it is
convenient to use Trigger recording. ( p.54)
2 Specify the time signature of the song.
If the time signature changes during the song for which
you want to record tempo, create a tempo map at the
location where the time signature changes.
52
If you want the time signature to change during the
song, you must create the appropriate tempo maps.
Tempo settings will play back in synchronization, but
measures will become incorrectly aligned if the time sig-
nature changes do not match.
3 If you want to use a foot switch to input the tap tempo,
connect an optional PS-1 foot switch to the [FOOT
SWITCH] jack of the D1200.
4 Choose how you will record the tempo.
In the [RHYTHM] "TmpTrk" tab page, select either
"MeasTap" (tap at the beginning of each measure) or
"BeatTap" (tap at each beat).
5 Record the tap tempo track.
• Select the "RecStart" button and press the [ENTER]
key. The D1200 will enter the record-ready mode.
• When you press the [PLAY] key or a connected foot
switch, the song will begin playing, and tap tempo
recording will also begin.
• While you listen to the playback, record the tap
tempo by pressing the [PLAY] key or foot switch at
the intervals you specified in step 4. The counter
will be displayed while you record the tap tempo.
When using the [PLAY] key to record tap tempo, do not
strike the key any more forcefully than necessary. Doing
so may damage the hard disk etc.
6 After you have input the last tap, press the [STOP] key.
For example if you are inputting four measures of a 4/4
time signature, tap four times in the case of "MeasTap"
or sixteen times in the case of "BeatTap" to input up to
the beginning of the fifth measure. Then press the
[STOP] key.
If you input taps only until mid-way through the song,
the tempo of the last-input measure or beat will be auto-
matically copied to the end of the song.
7 Specify the tempo track as the tempo source.
Access the [RHYTHM] "SetUp" tab page, select "Tem-
poSource," and turn the [VALUE] dial to choose "Tem-
poTrk."
Move to the beginning of the song, and press the [PLAY]
key to play back the song and check the tempo.
