Song Mode
This chapter explains how to create songs, beat maps, and tempo maps on the DR16pro using the
Song Mode functions. These functions are used when synchronizing the DR16pro to an external
sequencer via MIDI. See “MIDI Synchronization” on page 121.
Note:
To use MIDI synchronization, you must install an optional IB-803M MIDI interface board.
Please contact your AKAI professional dealer for details.
Tempo Map
When you use the DR16pro as a MIDI master, the tempo of the connected MIDI slave sequencer
is determined by the rate of the MIDI clock. Therefore, you must first create a tempo map on the
DR16pro, so that the sequencer plays at the correct tempo.
If a song’s tempo remains the same throughout, the tempo map will have only one entry. That
entry will be at the beginning of the song and will specify the song’s tempo. If the song contains
any tempo changes, these changes will have to be entered into the tempo map.
Initially, the first entry in the tempo map is set to 120 bpm.
Beat Map
As well as setting the tempo, you must also specify the song’s beat (time signature). For example,
if the DR16pro counts in 4/4 time while the sequencer plays in 3/4, one beat per bar will slip.
Just like tempo, if a song’s beat remains the same throughout, you only have to specify it once at
the beginning of the song. However, if the beat of the song changes, these changes will have to be
entered into the beat map.
Initially, the first entry in the beat map is set to 4/4.
