BASIC OPERATION
• Beats Mode Parameters
B:
Selects the beat number. There are 100 different beats to choose
from. Unless the Master menu Beats mode is set to option 2:Con-
stant T, X, P, the preset will change when you change the beat.
T:
Sets the Tempo of the sequence. The tempo is variable from 1
beats-per-minute to 255 bpm. Turning the tempo all the way down
selects External Clock mode (Ext). In external clock mode, the
tempo is derived from incoming MIDI clock pulses.
X:
Selects the “X Factor” or transposition interval. Rather than change
the pitch of the instruments, transposition shifts the keyboard
position up and down. On “Beats” presets this has the effect of
changing the instruments on each beat. By combining the various
beats, presets and transpositions, you can create literally hundreds
of thousands of different grooves. On presets where there is one
sound stretched across the entire keyboard, transpose will trans-
pose the pitch.

Transposing a “beats” preset shifts the keyboard and changes the sounds assigned to each beat.
