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 e vents
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).
