tempo ritard

[MikeinNC]

Maybe this is already available on 300's or Tyros. On the 207 I am able to ritard the tempo on a programmed ending. I would like to be able to ritard, at the touch of a button, at any other time.

Part of your wish may already be granted. Try hitting the Ending button twice. On many Yamaha keyboards that gives a Rit during the ending. You will see and hear the tempo gradually slow down.

Being able to Rit and/or Accel while playing would be a very desirable feature. Many of us think it could be mapped to a pedal (like a volume pedal, only for tempo). It has been suggested to Yamaha many, many times. So far, they have ignored our requests.
