Willum,

There is more than one way to skin a cat. I have resolved my problem but it shouldn't have to be done the way I did it. To begin with, I do all my own backing in COMPOSER. I never use pre-sets or other people's ideas. As in this case, in my intro, I have grace notes and therefore sound is not heard on the first 3 beats of the first measure. With this in my favor, I am able to PUNCH RECORD in the original tempo that I can't get rid of, activate record in CONTROL, press the start button, PUNCH IN, press the PANEL MEMORY that I have set to the new tempo and immediately PUNCH OUT. It works. The end result is when hitting the reset button, it is in the original tempo but immediately changes to the new tempo through CONTROL. There has to be a better way to do this than this way.
