4.Perform remix play in time with the CD song (page
13).
e Play the pads and rhythm in time with the beginning
of the measure. If the timing is incorrect, turn off the
pad and rhythm once, and then restart them.
e |f you sense that the two tempos are out of sync, use
the TEMPO + and - buttons to adjust the instrument
tempo.
e if the tempo changes during the song, for example,
the CD tempo and instrument tempo may not match.
In this case, use the TEMPO and TEMPO PAD buttons
to adjust the tempo, or start the pad or rhythm again
at the beginning of a measure.
e When CD TEMPO DETECTION is on, each time the
song changes, auto tempo detection is executed. This
function can be set to ON or OFF. (Refer to pages 27,
29.)
NOTE
You may find that the auto detect function does not
work well with some types of songs.
The auto detect function may not work well even for
some songs having a comparatively stable tempo, for
example due to slight tempo differences in a live per-
formance, or depending on the configuration of the
instruments. In such cases, follow the same proce-
dure as when the FAILED, TRY AGAIN message ap-
pears following auto detect failure, and tap out the
tempo on the TEMPO PAD.
e For best results, select songs having a very distinct
cymbal or hi-hat performance.
