Changing The Default Song Tempo - Yamaha DGT7A Advanced Operation Manual

Changing the Default
Song Tempo
This function allows you to change the default
tempo of a song and save the change to disk. It
should not be confused with the playback tempo
function described in Chapter 6 "Basic Playback" in
the Basic Operation Manual, in which tempo
changes are lost when the Disklavier is turned off.
The tempo of a song can be changed many times.
This function can be used when recording a very
complex song that is difficult to play at a fast
tempo. First, record the song at a tempo you can
manage, then change the tempo afterwards. For
example, you could record a difficult left-hand
part at a slow tempo, use this function to change
the tempo, then record the right-hand part at the
normal tempo.
If a song's time format is minutes and seconds,
tempo changes are specified as a percentage of the
original tempo.
If a song's time format is measures and beats,
tempo changes are specified in beats per minute.
