Tap Start

The Tap Start function allows you to set the Pat-
tern's overall tempo as well as start the accompani-
ment—simply by tapping out the rhythm. The
accompaniment plays back at the tempo with which
the pads are struck or the pedal is pressed.

Tap the [TEMPO/TAP] button four
times at the desired tempo.
The current tempo value appears on the display,
and the Pattern playback starts automatically at the
tempo you tapped.
The tempo can also be changed during Pattern
playback by tapping the button twice at the desired
tempo.
NOTE
• For a 6/8 measure, the [TEMPO/TAP] button needs to be tapped
six times in order for the tempo to be detected.
• The detected tempo range is 32–280.
To stop playback of the Pattern, press the [START/
STOP] button.
