(3) Tempo change
This specifies a change in rhythm tempo during a song.
Specify a tempo change as follows.
[T + Amount of change / beats]
Change in tempo value
+ indicates a tempo increase,
– indicates a tempo decrease
This can be used as in the following example.
Part 001 = PTN 100
Part 002 = T + 20/4
Part 003 = PTN P12
When this song is played, after the pattern of part 001
is played, the tempo will begin increasing while part 003
plays. (If the pattern used by part 003 is in a time sig-
nature of 4/4, the tempo change will end when the fourth
beat ends.)
Note:
Tempo change is specified as an increase or decrease
in the currently set tempo. If the tempo is already
at the maximum of 240, it cannot be increased further.
If tempo is already at the minimum of 30, it cannot
be decreased further.
(4) Mark
It is often convenient to specify a "mark" in a song, and
use the "search" function to jump to the specified lo-
cation so that you can edit or playback from that point.
Especially when creating long rhythm songs, it can be
time-consuming to find the location you want. For
example, setting a mark at the beginning of the chorus,
or at the top of the second verse, will help you find
sections you frequently need to locate. Specify a mark
as follows.
[ Mark [A] ]
You can specify any character
This can be used as in the following example.
Part 256 = PTN 152
Part 257 = Mark [A]
Part 258 = PTN 168
Number of beats over which the
change will occur
Note:
Any character can be used as a mark, and you can
set as many as you like. However, only the first seven
marks in the song can be searched for. To search for
a part using the mark, see page 75 (while editing) or
page 77 (while in play mode).
