Changing The Tempo Of A Song - Roland Vima RK-500 Owner's Manual

Changing the Tempo of a Song

Here's how to change the tempo of a song.
If a song is too fast for you to play or sing along comfortably, you can slow it down to a
more comfortable tempo.
Changing the tempo will not affect the pitch. You can also change the tempo even while
the song is playing.

1. Turn the [TEMPO] knob to adjust the tempo.
Turning the [TEMPO] knob toward the left ("SLOW") will slow down the tempo, and turning it
toward the right ("FAST") will speed up the tempo.
You can adjust the tempo in a range between half and double the original tempo (however,
limited to a range between 20 and 500 quarter notes per minute).
NOTE
What is the standard tempo?
The standard tempo is the tempo that is most appropriate for the song. Each song has its
own standard tempo setting.
If you set the [TEMPO] knob to the "STANDARD" position, the song will play at its
standard tempo.
You can't change the tempo of a music CD song.
