Half Bar
This function has been modified as such: if pressed during the first half of the measure,
the 1/2 bar fill is heard during the current measure. However if pressed during the 2
half of the measure, the 1/2 bar fill is played at the beginning of the next measure.

DOUBLE features with the lead voice.
Tempo accelerando/ritardando
By pressing both Tempo buttons (+ & ‐) together in the STYLE mode (LED on), the
Tempo related features are displayed. Now, by touching and holding down for 2
seconds the ACC icon, you can access editable parameters for both accelerando and
ritardando. Touching either the EXIT icon on the screen or on the panel returns the
keyboard to the normal screen. The new functions available in the EDIT mode are –
Step, Lower, Limit and Upper Limit.
Step
Once turned on, this allows you to change the « rate » of acceleration or
deceleration, so the tempo will increase/decrease in steps of x, rather than the
default steps of 1:
Range from 1–20: the change in tempo will be proportional to the
quantity defined for each measure.
Range from 1‐20 beat: the tempo will be proportional to the value
defined by each bar
Lower Limit
Use to set the lowest tempo value the style can go to when Ritardando is used,
however please note that the value for the tempo (set in View => Drum) will
take precedence over any minimum tempo value set.
Upper Limit
Use to set the highest tempo value the style can go to when Accelerando is
used, however please note that the value for the tempo (set in View => Drum)
will take precedence over any maximum tempo value set.
The default values are: Step=5 (bar), Lower Limit=40, Upper Limit = 250.
The defined values can be saved within the CUSTOM STARTUP. The accelerando &
ritardando set values can also be saved within each style independently. If a style has
