I don't think the assignable slider can be used to adjust the Tempo. On the Tyros3 there are dedicated Tempo +/- buttons on the Panel plus a dedicated Tap Tempo button. As far as I can tell the assignable slider can be used to adjust the keyboard volume, reverb, (possibly also "chorus" as well but not sure), and also to adjust the 16' footage of the Organ flutes. There may be other functions the assignable slider can be used for but my guess is Tempo won't be one of them. OTOH, we apparently won't know for sure until we can actually get our hands on a T3, or perhaps if Steve Deming chimes in. But my feeling is Steve probably won't chime in because it may appear (if tempo CAN NOT be used with the assignable slider) if he chimes in to tell us as much, it may be perceived as "negative" marketing of the T3. In other words, he will only chime in if the assignable slider CAN be used to control tempo. If he doesn't chime in then it's pretty certain the assignable slider won't be able to be used to control the tempo. I could also be eating some crow in a week or so too.

Best,
Mike
