[. . . ] U001­U010: User Rhythm Arrangement S001­S010: Song Rhythm Arrangement You cannot select a preset rhythm arrangement. Move the cursor to "NEW BPM" and set the modified tempo you want using the TIME/VALUE dial. The modified tempo range is 0. 75 to 1. 5 times that of the loop phrases contained in the rhythm arrangement. If different loop phrases have different tempos, you can make settings ranging from 0. 75 times the fastest of the tempos to 1. 5 times the slowest tempo. If the desired tempo cannot be set in the given range, "---" is indicated for the "BPM" setting, meaning you cannot modify the tempo of any of the loop phrases. Example 1) The rhythm arrangement only contains loop phrases with a BPM setting of 100. 100 x 0. 75 = 75 100 x 1. 5 = 150 The allowed settings fall in the range from 75 and above and 150 and under (i. e. , from 75 to 150). · In this case, the original loop phrases are overwritten by the modified loop phrases. For example, if the loop phrases A001, B003, and S005 are used in a rhythm arrangement, the newly created loop phrases become A001, B003, and S005, and the original A001, B003, and S005 are deleted. Take care to note that once loop phrases are overwritten, the procedure cannot be undone, and there is no way to recover the previous loop phrases. · If additional recordings or edits have been made with respect to the currently selected song, the message "Save Current?" may appear. If you want to modify the loop phrase's tempo after the results of such recording and/or editing have been saved, press [ENTER/YES]. If you press [EXIT/NO], the recording/editing is lost.
