parameters, and the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to set them.
The measure can be set from 1 to 999. The beat parameter is dependent on the number of beats
in a measure, which is specified by the meter setting. For example, for a meter setting of 4/4,
this beat parameter can be set from 1 to 4. For a meter setting of 6/8, this beat parameter can
be set from 1 to 6. Step A is always set to measure 1–beat 1 (001–1). Pressing the [+] and [–]
buttons together resets the measure and beat to 000–1. When the measure–beat parameter of a
new step is selected (000–0), pressing the [–] button selects the highest measure–beat already
in the Tempo Map.
The tempo can be set from 20 to 300. Pressing the [+] and [–] buttons together resets the tempo
to 120.
