Prepare your keyboard or tone genera-

Note:
When you press the START/STOP key,
the MDF3 will hesitate for 1 – 15 seconds as
it reads data from the disk before it begins to
play back the data. If you need to start the
playback with greater accuracy, press the
PAUSE key immediately after pressing the
START/STOP key and wait until the START/
STOP LED lights. The MDF3 will begin play-
ing the file as soon as you press the PAUSE
key a second time or press the foot switch if
it is connected.
6. Change the tempo.
You can use the FILE DATA keys to
change the playback tempo while the file
is playing. When you press one of the
FILE DATA keys, the following display
will appear.

Note:
Sequence data files created by devices
other than the MDF3 may include tempo
change data that will alter the tempo regard-
less of the changes you make using the FILE
DATA keys. Since the playback tempo is com-
monly recorded at the beginning of a file, you
may find that the tempo will return to its origi-
nal value if you play a file from the top after
changing the tempo using the FILE DATA
keys.
