Meter
This is the basic meter (or time signature) of the Song. You can
edit this parameter only when the Song is empty, i.e., before you
begin recording anything. To insert a meter change in the mid-
dle of the Song, use the "Insert Measure" function (see
page 103).
Tempo (Tempo mode)
This parameter sets the way tempo events are read or recorded.
Manual
Manual reading. The latest manual Tempo setting
(made using the TEMPO buttons) is considered
the current Tempo value. No Tempo change
events will be recorded. This is very useful when
you want to record the Song at a much slower
speed than the actual Tempo.
Auto
Auto reading. The Sequencer plays back all
recorded Tempo events. No Tempo change events
are recorded.
Record
All Tempo changes made during recording will
be recorded to the Master Track.
Note: Tempo is always recorded in overwrite mode
(old data is replaced by the new data).
