Wi SLOW/FAST (Tempo) Variation
The large SLOW and FAST buttons located to the right of the panel can be used to
modify the tempo of the selected rhythm. Tempo can be varied from 32 beats per
minute up to 280 beats per minute.
When the EMR-1 is initially turned ON a tempo of 120 is automatically selected.
Pressing the SLOW button decreases the tempo, while pressing the FAST button increases the tempo. Holding either of
these buttons down causes a continuous increase or decrease in the tempo setting. The current tempo setting is displayed
on the Measure/Tempo Display while either the SLOW or FAST button is pressed during rhythm playback, and the
display reverts to measure number display about one second after either the SLOW or FAST button is released. The
tempo setting is also displayed, and can be changed, while rhythm playback is stopped.
Note: If the rear-panel CLOCK switch is set to MIDI and the EMR-1 is being controlled by an external clock signal, the
front-panel SLOW and FAST buttons will have no effect.
Each of the EMR-1's rhythms has an ''optimum'' tempo setting which is automatically recalled when a rhythm is selected.
If the tempo setting has been changed by operating the SLOW and FAST buttons, the initial tempo setting can be auto-
matically recalled by pressing both the SLOW and FAST buttons simultaneously while the rhythm is selected. This works
both while rhythm playback is stopped or while the rhythm is playing.
e As you change the tempo of a rhythm, the rhythm pattern changes slightly to provide the best overall sound within the
current tempo range.
