THE FX DISPLAY WINDOW AND FOCUS COTROLS
The effects display screen is divided vertically into four segments numbered 1- 4, which represent the
four Channel FX units. The highlighted section shows which channel is in Focus.
The illustration below shows the display for channel 1, 2 - 4 follow the same layout.

This section of the screen can display the following symbols:
T for tapped tempo
L for Loop Active
Padlock to show BPM Locked
FX ADJ/TOGGLE VIEW
Adjusts the second effects parameter (e.g. the filter of a Delay).
Pressing this encoder will toggle the view between BPM or the second pa-
rameter of the currently focused effect.
FX TIME/TAP
This encoder sets the beat fraction for each effect. Rotating anticlockwise will decrease the time, and
rotating clockwise will increase it. The time defaults to fractions of the detected BPM, but for delays this
can be switched to absolute time in milliseconds, see Page 21.
Pressing and holding this control for approximately ¼ second will lock or unlock the BPM at the cur-
rently detected setting.
Pressing and holding this control for a further second will reset the BPM detection engine for fresh anal-
yses.
You can also tap in a tempo using this control. You need to tap a minimum of six times before it will be
registered.
This is the toggled view of the
Delay effect “Fat-Q”. It repre-
sents a frequency graph, with
the low frequencies on the
left, high on the right. The
shaded area is the frequency
response of the output filter
of the delay.
Rotating the FX ADJ control
will move the centre frequen-
cy of this filter, and the shad-
ed area will move left or
right.
