The tempo can be adjusted in 35 steps, from 40

to 280 beats per minute (bpm). The steps are

shown in the LED display as values from 01 to

Rhythm Style.

▼ To adjust the tempo:

1. Press the TEMPO button to enter the

Tempo mode.

The currently selected Tempo value appears

cycle up or down accordingly.

The range of available tempos is from 40 to

280 bpm. You can change the current tempo

while any Auto Rhythm Style is playing.

The DD-20 features a Tap Start function that

sets the overall tempo depending on how fast

START button again.

three or four times depending

on the time signature of the

selected Auto Rhythm Style.
