STEP
Move the cursor to the Tempo Source Field as shown above and set the tempo source with the
DATA wheel.
•
(SEQ)
Each sequence that you play back may have a different tempo. When (SEQ) is selected,
the sequence's tempo is displayed in the Tempo field. It is possible to set this tempo for
each sequence individually. When playing sequences, this is useful if you want each se-
quence to play at its preset tempo. The sequence's tempo is saved to disk along with se-
quence data when a sequence is saved.
•
(MAS)
The master tempo is a single tempo setting that applies to all sequences and songs. When
playing sequences this is useful if you always want each selected sequence to play at the
same tempo. This can be especially useful in the "Next sequence" mode, where following
sequences may have different tempos and you want them to all play at the same tempo.
This tempo setting is not saved in the sequence file.
