Using tap tempo control

In Program, Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play
modes, you can use the tap tempo function to control the
arpeggiator tempo. In Sequencer and Song Play modes
you can use this method to control the song tempo.
During playback, lightly press the [ENTER] key several
times at the desired tempo. The tempo will follow your
tapping in realtime. This is a convenient way to match the
tempo in realtime to the beat of a different source.
As an example, here's the procedure for using tap tempo
to set the speed of the arpeggiator.
1 In Program mode or Combination mode, start the
arpeggiator running.
Turn on the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key, and play
the keyboard. If you check "Latch" (P0: Play, Arpeggia-
tor page), the arpeggiator will keep running even if
you take your hand off the keyboard.
2 Lightly press the [ENTER] key several times at the
desired tempo.
Notice that the " =" in the upper right of the LCD
screen will change to indicate the tempo at which you
press the [ENTER] key.
If you press the [ENTER] key at slightly shorter inter-
vals, the playback tempo will become correspondingly
faster.
You can use tap tempo control whenever the
[TEMPO] knob can be operated. For example in
Sequencer mode, tap tempo control will not be avail-
able if you are playing a song whose "Tempo Mode"
setting (☞PG p.56) is set to Auto.
You can also use a foot switch connected to the
ASSIGNABLE FOOT SWITCH jack to control the tap
tempo function. (☞p.90, PG p.281)
