Resetting the Tempo Value
Each song and style has been
given a default or standard Tempo
setting. You can instantly restore
this default Tempo setting by press-
ing both [+]/[–] buttons simulta-
neously (when Tempo is selected).
Also, the tempo of a song or style
returns to the default setting when
selecting a different song or style.
(The set tempo remains, however,

back except when OTS is on.)
When you turn on the power of the

cally set to 29.
