time signature of the rhythm.

About the Tempo Functions

Tempo Values

As mentioned above, the tempo value is shown briefly

in the MULTI DISPLAY when one of the TEMPO

buttons is pressed. The displayed tempo range is

from 10 to 60; in actual tempo values, the range is from

40 to 240 beats per minute. (Each step in the tempo

adjustment corresponds to 4 beats per minute.)

Default Tempos

Each Song and Style has been given a default or

standard tempo. If you change the tempo, you can set

it back to the original default setting, by pressing both

TEMPO buttons simultaneously. Also, the tempo of a

Song or Style returns to the default setting when

selecting a different Song or Style. (The set tempo

remains, however, when switching Styles during

playback.) When you turn on the power of the

PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to the default

setting of Style 01.

Keypad) is pressed before entering the second digit. Also, keep in

mind that entry of numbers higher than 40 in the Song mode are

ignored.
