2. Enter the three-digit numbers of the first and final Parts
of the section to be copied, then press + 1/YES or EN-
TER to complete data input.
Copying is completed, and the LCD will display the
number of the empty Part location now following the
end of the copied section.
* Should you make a mistake in specifying the section to
be copied, one of the following error messages will appear
and copying will be canceled.
a) If the number of the first copied Part is larger than that
of the final one, or a copy section is specified that includes
the destination Part, the LCD will show:
b) Should you specify a Part for copying that does not exist,
the LCD will show:
2. Press numeric key 1 to select accelerando, key 2 for ri-
tardando.

TEMPO CHANGE COMMANDS
FUNCTION
Enters Tempo Change commands in a Song
to make it gradually slower or faster.
Natural, gradual changes in tempo - accelerando (increase)
or ritardando (decrease) - can be created with these com-
mands. Both the value (in quarter notes/minute) and the
duration (in quarter notes) of the tempo change can be spe-
cified.
By entering a Tempo Change command within a repeated
section, you can cause accelerando or ritardando over longer
passages than the 99 quarter notes which normally is the limit
for a single tempo change.
* It is generally easiest to input tempo changes after having
completed a song, by using Insert.
NOTE: Unless you balance accelerandi with ritardandi, your
Song will end in a different tempo than it started
with. If you have not set an initial tempo for the
Song and start to play it again immediately, it will
commence at this previous final tempo. It is there-
fore recommended that you use Job #04 to specify
an initial tempo.
OPERATION
1. Select the Part of the Song from which you want the
tempo to start changing, and press CLICK/TEMPO
CHANGE. The display will ask you to select
Accel(erando) or Rit(ardando).
3. Input the value of the tempo change (i.e. by how much
you want the tempo to increase/decrease) as the nu-
merator and the duration of the tempo change as the
denominator of the fraction shown on the LCD, using
ACCENT 2 to switch between the two.
Say you want the tempo to increase by 15 quarter notes
per minute over 4 measures. This means you have to set
tempo change (accelerando) to +15/16, because 4
measures correspond to 16 quarter notes.
Instantaneous tempo changes can be achieved by setting
the denominator to 0.
VOLUME CHANGE COMMANDS
FUNCTION
Enters Volume Change commands at any lo-
cation in a Song, to raise or lower level.
Any volume change within the voice level limits (0 ~ 63) is
possible. By entering several Volume Change commands in
subsequent Parts or using them in repeated sections, gradual
volume changes can be achieved (e.g. for climaxes, fade-in
or fade-out).
OPERATION
1. Select the Part of the Song where you want the volume
to change, and press EDIT PATTERN/VOLUME
CHANGE. The display will ask you to select Up(ward)
or Down(ward) change.
