Setting the Tempo
♦ Using Knob D
You can change the tempo of the selected rhythm pattern in real time with knob D and the
display will indicates the changed tempo. The tempo can be set from 40 to 280 bpm.
♦ Using [Tap Tempo] Button
As you tap a key four times along with the beat while pushing the [Knob Mode] button, the SP2
will determine the tempo automatically. During performance, tapping the [Tap Tempo] button
two times will do the same thing.
While patterns are playing, you can still play the keyboard and change programs
using [Program/Setup] button. If you want to stop patterns playing during performance,
enter Rhythm Selection Mode again by pressing [Rhythm/Metronome] button and press [No]
button to stop it.
Metronome Feature
To activate Metronome feature, press [Rhythm/Metronome] button and select "world" drum
pattern category. And then, press [0], [+/‐], [Cancel] and [Enter] button in order. The SP2
supports 4 types of time signature including 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8. After you make selection, the
display will look like < Figure 3‐11 >. Use Knob D to control the tempo as you do with the drum
patterns.
