1.Usingandunderstandingbasstrackoptions.
The "Bass Track" toggles the bass track on and off. When "Bass
Track" is set to "on", "B TRK Mode" controls the playback of the
bass track. There are three modes: "continuous" (bass track is
always playing), "once" (bass track plays the pattern once and
is then muted) and "alternate" (bass track alternates on and
off, changing each time the pattern repeats).
2.Manuallychangingthetempoofthepattern.
To change the tempo manually, press the "DRUMS" button
repeatedly or hold it down while turning the large Data
Wheel until you have highlighted the tempo menu item. Turn
the large Data Wheel to the desired tempo.

.Usingthe"TempoCreep"feature.
"Tempo Creep" helps you work on a pattern at a gradually
increasing tempo, and works great with both the
"performance" and "teacher" patterns. Turn it on by pressing
the "DRUMS" button repeatedly or holding it down while
turning the large Data Wheel untill you have highlighted the
"Tempo Creep" menu item. Turn the large Data Wheel to
toggle this feature on and off.
"Tempo Delta" is the rate at which the pattern tempo increases.
The increase occures each time the pattern repeats and is
meassured in beats per minute (BPM), selectable from 1 to 10.
Lower settings are less noticeable and more gradual; higher
settings are very noticeable and increase faster. Many of the
"teacher" patterns are set at 30 BPM (very slow). Use Tempo
Creep to work them up to faster tempos.
4.Manuallychangingthekeyofthepattern.
To change the key manually, press the "DRUMS" button
repeatedly or hold it down while turning the large Data
Wheel until you have highlighted the "Key" menu item. Turn
the large Data Wheel to the desired key. This is the starting
point when using "Auto Key."
Note: To accomodate the extended frequency range
of a 5 string bass, each loop may be adjusted 2-1/2
steps below the original key. For Example: Loop in
key of E has a range of B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#,
A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#. All onboard MIDI loops were
developed utilizing the full range of a 4 string bass.
Lowering the key below 2-1/2 steps may result in
bass notes that are below the range of a 5 string
bass.
Enharmonic Equivalents: Due to the B-DEC™ 30's
limited display capabilities, all keys are written
without specific reference to major or minor, and
all accidentals are represented with sharps only.
For example, Bb is represented as A# although in
common music theory, Bb would be the preferred
choice.
