THE TEMPO & MAIN CONTROLS SECTION
HARD RESET
You can also access more tempo controls via this
button – by pressing and holding SHIFT + RESET, the
voice tap keys become a set of controls for fine
tempo adjustment:
The 1st tap key becomes a HARD RESET key –
pressing it will re-start the internal clock which
comes in handy when synchronizing the PĒRKONS
with external gear or live instruments for which MIDI
or analog clock sync is not possible.
The 2nd tap key becomes a TAP TEMPO key –
tapping it once will enter the tempo fine-tuning
menu (the rows of steps represent 100, 10 and 1
BPM per step) and tapping it two more times (or
even more when following a tempo by listening) will
set the tempo based on the tap rate – this will be
displayed on the step rows. Just like fine-tuning
when entering this menu with SHIFT and turning
the TEMPO knob, you can manually add/remove
steps to adjust to a specific BPM.
TAP TEMPO
The 3d and 4th keys become «nudge» keys – by
pressing and holding them, they will nudge the
tempo slightly forward (3d key) or back (4th key) –
think of these as something similar to playing a vinyl
turntable.
Releasing SHIFT and RESET will exit these additional
tempo controls.
