Here’s the scoop. In my PATTERN, got SECTIONS with different variations for a DANCE (usually lasts atleast for more than an hour at a time).

was just explaining my scenerio. OK to be specific: Wanna have 8 measures in a SECTION that starts @ a certain tempo & increases to a certain. How can i set this up, like a control ? |

Let me see, it’s an 8 Measure Section and you want it to gradually increase in tempo over an hour or more of time? I suggest you manually click the TEMPO 1 BPM every six minutes!
If you want to automate it you must either create a linear SONG or a linear CHAIN. Do you see why to automate tempo chain it must be done on a linear time line? |

Haha ! no buddy forget the increase over an hour....however long it takes the ?: 8 measures to increase in tempo from a certain to a certain. Forget the time.
ALSO, if i chain it to a SONG, then whats the Control # ? & then i have to split SONG to PATTERN to a SECTION, correct ?

Do you see why to automate tempo chain it must be done on a linear time line? You cannot place a TEMPO CHANGE in a looping 8 measure Section, think about it - at what measure are you going to place it?
There is no cc for TEMPO
If the section is looping - highlight the tempo parameter and change it manually - That’s why I was having fun with you - it is so obvious you don’t see it, huh? Try it - you’ll see. Image Attachments

Appreciate it. Already did that. That means if i was to sequence (SONG MODE) then that’s possible, correct. Just finding out the Control, etc. For the GIG I’m doin & I’m playing in the PATTERN MODE, yup I can just use the DATA WHEEL & keep uping it up ! towards the END of DA DANCE. |

From previous posts on the TEMPO CHANGE subject. ......
When it comes to TEMPO CHANGE there are a couple of ways. You can have the Instrument create a Tempo Change curve for you automatically. Or you can record it in real time. Or you can automate Tempo Change with SONG SCENE Events. Create a Tempo Change SONG mode
From your SONG, press [EDIT]
With the TEMPO TRACK selected:
Because you selected the Tempo Track the ‘Create Continuous Data†JOB will be set to insert Tempo Change events into the dedicated Track. Set the Measure range to match the exact point you would like the tempo to begin changing, and where you want the change to stop. Fill in the parameters as you desire. The “Clock†parameter will determine how often the Tempo Change events are inserted. And you can tailor how fast the tempo change occurs.
When to use: You would use this method when you want automate gradual tempo changes. You can set a start and end point, and you can even control how often a tempo event is placed. Trial and error works here - do not be afraid to experiment. While working in the [JOB] area, button [F1] is marked UNDO/REDO and allows you to compare your data at the touch of the button.
Call up your SONG
Now move the highlight to the TEMPO parameter shown in BPM (Beats Per Minute).
When to use: You would use this method when you want to manually control the tempo change. Again the JOB > [F1] UNDO/REDO will allow you to experiment without consequence. Insert TEMPO CHANGES via the SONG SCENE memory A “SCENE†(adopted from Yamaha digital mixing consoles) is a ‘snapshot’ of many parameters that can be instantly recalled by pressing a SCENE button or can be automated with a special SCENE EVENT for recall. This would be excellent when you need aburpt/specific changes in tempos
_ You record a SCENE by documenting the current status. Set the Tempo as desired. HOLD [SHIFT] + [SF1] to take a snapshot.
To store a SCENE simply hold [STORE] + [SF]
To recall a SCENE simply press the [SF] button. When to use: You would use this method when you manually want to control the tempo by recalling a pre-determined setting. Tempo Change in PATTERN mode By design, all Sections of PATTERN mode are the same Tempo. You can automate TEMPO changes by placing the Sections in a playback order, and then entering Tempo change events on a dedicated track for these type of events… this “playback order†is called a “Chainâ€
From PATTERN mode
Alternatively, you can enter the play order by:
TEMPO event can be entered at any measure/beat/clock location. Because of the cycling nature of PATTERN sections it make sense to insert certain changes to the playback of these sections only have you have mapped the playback order. Say you have an 8 measure SECTION A… and an 8 measure SECTION B. Your compositions structure is going to be the ever poplular AABA song structure… but the second time through you want to increase the tempo… logically speaking, it only makes sense to insert a TEMPO change on a linear time line. That is how the CHAIN works - it gives you a linear time line onto which you can now map out exactly when a change is to take place. |

Gonna experiment, trial/error. Will read thru 2moro AM & put it to action.
C I got the MOTIF ES few years ago, got sick for a l’il while so did not have the time to start exploring it. Then went to BOLLYWOOD & Europe trips, etc.
