Changing Auto Accompaniment
Speed (Tempo)
There are two ways to change the tempo.
• Specifying a beats-per-minute value
• Tapping a beat with the dl TAP TEMPO button (tap input)
Note Value Indicator and Tempo Value
The current tempo value setting is always displayed in the
upper right corner of the display.
Note value
The tempo value is always shown in combination with a note
value. The example above indicates 120 quarter note beats
per minute.
To specify a tempo value
1.
Change the note value as required.
• See "To change the displayed note value" below.
2.
Use the dk TEMPO [w] and [q] buttons to
change the tempo setting.

• The allowable tempo value setting range depends on
the currently displayed note value as shown in the
table below.

Eighth note (6)
Half note (1)
Dotted quarter note (2.)
• When the note value is a quarter note, the tempo value
corresponds to the actual number of beats per minute.
When the note value is an eighth note the number of
beats per minute is twice that of the tempo value.
When the note value is a half note, the number of
beats is half that of the tempo value.

To set the tempo by tapping a beat
1.
Tap dl TAP TEMPO multiple times at as
steady a beat as possible.
This will set a tempo that is as close as possible to the
timing of the beat you tap.
• It helps to use this method to specify the approximate
tempo in combination with a procedure like the one
under "To specify a tempo value" (page EN-46).
• A tempo value that is input using this method has no
relation to the currently displayed note value. Depending on
the rhythm selected with the above operation, a quarter
note or eighth note tempo value is input.
