Creating A Tempo Map - Yamaha AW2400 Owner's Manual

The "tempo map" contains data that changes the tempo or time signature at the beginning of the
song or at any measure or beat within the song. The measure/beat display counter, the internal
metronome, and the MIDI clock data generated within the AW2400 are all based on this tempo
map.
HINT
• The Start point of the song corresponds to the starting location of the tempo map.
• The data ("tempo map events") recorded in the tempo map will continue to apply until the
next event of the same type is encountered.
NOTE
• If you modify the tempo map after recording on an audio track, the measure/beat counter
display values will be affected. For this reason if you want to use MIDI clock to synchro-
nize with an external MIDI device, or if you want to control the song in measure units, you
should create the tempo map before you record. If you modify the tempo map after a
track has already been recorded, a popup window will ask you for confirmation.
■ Editing a tempo map event
When you create a new song, the following tempo map
event will be input at the beginning of the tempo map (the
first beat of the first measure).
• Time signature: 4/4
• Tempo: 120.0
Here's how to edit the values of this tempo map event.
