SETTING SONG TEMPO<br />
There are two ways to set tempo:<br />
Method 1<br />
1. Press STOP if the Song is playing.<br />
2. Press the TAP TEMPO button several times at the desired tempo. The LD32 will<br />
average the time between taps and derive a tempo.<br />
Note: If a footswitch is plugged into the Count/A/B/Fill jack, tapping the footswitch at<br />
the desired rate is equivalent to pressing the TAP TEMPO button.<br />

1. Alternatively, you can press and hold the TAP TEMPO button and use the INC / DEC<br />
buttons or VALUE dial to select a new tempo.<br />
