Alesis sr 18 drum machine question

Hi folks, I am new to this site, I have a basic question regarding the Alesis sr 18 drum machine.
I am a solo player and one of the things I do is a rock n roll medley.
For the first half of this I have the (Preset on 24B Tempo 175 and Bass muted))
Half way through this medley I need to slow the beat down on the same preset to Tempo 130.
I have about a five second or so amount of time to transfer from the faster beat to the slower beat.
When it changes, I play the last line of
Ya mamma cant dance and your daddy cant rock n roll.
I stop the beat here and do the opening riff to (Just take those old records off your shelf)
I need to play this riff three times, and then activate the new beat at tempo 130 but same preset.
I have a stop start pedal for the drum machine, and a fill pedal.
At the moment because I am hopeless if I have an added person, I get them to scroll the tempo down as I am playing the riff. As you can no doubt imagine, this can be a disaster, if my mate isn't a bit handy.
My question is this, is there a way to put the Preset and tempo into one spot, then when it gets time to alter beat speed I simply press the stop start pedal.
I dont know if this is the right place to ask this silly question, if not can you put me onto somewhere that might solve my dilemma
Thanks John
