Adjusting The Tempo - Roland KR7/5 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Tempo

This changes the song and Music Style tempos.
If songs seem difficult to play at their original speed, you may find it helpful to first
practice with the tempo slowed down. Then, after becoming more familiar with the
song, you can practice it at a gradually faster tempo.
Changing the tempo has no effect on the pitch of the notes. And you can change the
tempo even when the song is in progress.
