As
well
as setting the
tempo,
you must
also specify the song's beat (time
signature). Just like
tempo,
if
a song's
beat
remains
the
same
throughout,
you
only have
to
specify
it
once
at
the
beginning of
the song.
However,
if
the beat
of
the
song
changes, these
changes
will
have
to
be
entered
into the
beat
map.
Initially,
the
first
entry
in
the
beat
map
is
set
to
4/4.
Beat
map
entries
are

format:

f-QH-QH
This
means
that
the beat
setting
is
4/4
starting
at
entry
01
(initial
entry).
When
the next entry
is
added
to the
beat
map,
it
will
be
displayed
as
02-03-OH.ln
this
case
the beat
has
been changed
to
3/4
at
entry 02.

The
MIDI
Timing Clock
data output
by
the
DR4
will
control the
tempo
of
the sequencer.
Therefore,
you must
first
create
a
tempo
map
on
the
DR4,
so
that
the
sequencer
plays
at
the
correct
tempo.
If
a song's
tempo
remains
the
same
throughout,
the
tempo
map
will
have
only
one
entry.
That
entry
will
be
at
the
beginning of
the
song
and
will specify the
song's
tempo.
If
the
song
contains
any
tempo
changes, these
changes
will
have
to
be
entered
into the
tempo
map.
Initially,
the
first
entry
in
the
tempo
map
is
set to
120
bpm.
Tempo map
entries
are
displayed
in
the
following format:
00
I-
ISOD This
means
that
the
tempo
setting
is
120.0
bpm
starting at
entry
001
(initial
setting).
When
the next entry
is
added
Y;.tQ
the
tempo map,
it
will
be
displayed
as
002-
ISOO
In
this
case the
tempo
has been
changed
to
150.0
at
entry
002.
Before
creating a
tempo
or beat
map,
it's
a
good
idea
to jot
them
down
on
paper
first.
This
way
you'll also
have
a
hard
copy
for
quick
reference.
The
following
tables
show
how
you
could
layout
a beat
map
and
tempo map.
