Tapping to change the tempo

You can determine the tempo by the timing with which you
press [TAP]. While the [AUTO/ON/OFF] indicator for the
RHYTHM/LOOP is lit, tap on [TAP] four or more times to
change the tempo of the RHYTHM GUIDE. The tempo
becomes that in which you tapped.
fig.Q2-12
* If you change the rhythm guide tempo during playback or
recording, the "MEASURE" reading in the display and the
rhythm guide may become out of sync. To put them back into
sync, press [STOP] once, press [ZERO] to return to the
beginning of the song, and then resume playback or recording.

Selecting the recording track

Press either [1] – [9/10] at REC TRACK to select the
recording track. If the button flashes in red, that track is
ready for recording.
fig.Q02-13
The status of each track can be determined from the indicator
on the REC TRACK button.
The relationship between the status of the REC TRACK
button indicators and the track status is given on page
18.
If INPUT SELECT [GUITAR/BASS, MIC 2]
or [MIC 1] is lit
fig.Q02-14
Since the input is monaural, the recording is normally
performed as a monaural recording onto one track. Press a
REC TRACK button from [1] through [9/10] to select the
recording track. You can use the REC TRACK buttons to
select individual tracks with tracks 1 through 8, or tracks 9/
10.
However, when you want to record in stereo in order to
increase the effectiveness of the insert effects, by
simultaneously pressing REC TRACK buttons [1] and [2], [3]
and [4], [5] and [6], or [7] and [8], you can record in stereo
using the two selected tracks.
Furthermore, since tracks 9/10 are linked as a stereo pair,
they are always recorded in stereo.
