Part 2: Set The Tempo

For this example, we will leave the song at its default time signature, 4/4 (see the Song mode
chapter in the PC3 Musician's Guide for details on setting the time signature.) Follow the steps
below to set a tempo for your song. It is easiest to choose your tempo before recording any
tracks, but the tempo can be adjusted after recording as well (see the Song mode chapter in the PC3
Musician's Guide for details on changing the tempo after recording.)
1. On the Song mode MAIN page, use the cursor buttons to navigate to the Tempo field and enter a
tempo. Entering the tempo with the alphanumeric pad is the easiest method if you know your
desired tempo. The plus/minus buttons and alpha wheel are useful for making smaller adjustments.
Tempo is set in beats per minute (BPM.) For this example, let's set a medium tempo of 100 BPM.
In the Tempo field use the alphanumeric pad to enter 100 and press Enter (see below.)
Note: You can also set the tempo using the Tap Tempo function. Access the Tap Tempo page by pressing
the left and right cursor buttons simultaneously (see the Master mode chapter in the PC3 Musician's
Guide for details.)
2. To hear the metronome play your tempo, press the BIG soft button. This brings you to the
Song:Big TIme page. On the Song:Big TIme page, set the Metron parameter to Always (see
