To match a new part's tempo to the previous part using the metronome:
1. If the band is playing, press the BAND footswitch to stop band playback.
2. Using the PART buttons, select the part to which you want to teach or record the loop.
3. If you're recording a loop, ensure the AUDIOLASTIC™ LED is off. If it isn’t, adjust the TEMPO control and set
it to the 12 o'clock position — the AUDIOLASTIC LED should now turn off.
4. Press and hold the currently selected PART button until the metronome starts — the PART button will also
begin flashing at the rate of the previous part's tempo.
5. When you have a feel for the tempo, keep your guitar quiet and press the BAND footswitch to arm the
band (for teaching) or press the LOOPER footswitch to arm the looper (for recording a loop). Now, as soon
as you start your down-strum, the teaching or loop recording will begin.
6. As you complete your song part or loop, press the BAND footswitch just as you strum the same downbeat
you started on. The band or loop will now begin playing and, as long as your new part is reasonably close
to the metronome tempo, the TRIO+ will alter the tempo to match the metronome tempo.
TIP: To clear the song part or loop so you can try again, follow the instructions described in
Tempo Interpretation Using The ALT TIME Button
It is sometimes difficult for the TRIO+ to automatically choose between a slow or fast tempo based on the
rhythm used for teaching. You can tell the TRIO+ that you would prefer either a fast or a slow interpretation of
your song part by using the ALT TIME button to provide a tempo hint.
To enable/disable tempo interpretation:
1. Before teaching the TRIO+ your song part (BAND LED flashing red slowly), press the ALT TIME button (the
button will begin flashing red). After teaching your part, the TRIO+ will try to choose the slowest tempo
interpretation of your rhythm.
2. Pressing the ALT TIME button again (the button will begin flashing green) will cause the TRIO+ to
anticipate a faster song part. After teaching your part, the TRIO+ will try to choose the fastest tempo
interpretation of your rhythm.
3. To return to normal operation, press the ALT TIME button again (the button will no longer flash). Now the
TRIO+ will automatically determine whether a song part plays back at half or double time when enabling
the ALT TIME button, based on the rhythm you played while teaching the song part.
