Using MIDI Clock
JamMan recognizes and transmits MIDI
Clock, allowing you to synchronize con-
nected MIDI devices to JamMan's tempo, or
to have JamMan follow another device's
tempo.
Within the
PUNCH IN and PHRASED
LOOP sections of the Mode knob, there are
a set of numbers which allow you to select
the number of MIDI quarter-notes you want
in each loop.
For the following examples, we'll assume
a drum machine is connected to JamMan.
Control the tempo of another device
With a drum machine connected to
JamMan's rear-panel MIDI OUT jack, set the
JamMan Mode knob to the number of beats
you want in your loop — for example, 8.
When you create your first loop, JamMan
transmits the appropriate MIDI messages to
start playing the drum machine in perfect
time with the loop you just created.
In this example, the drum machine will
automatically be set so that 8 MIDI quarter-
notes fit perfectly within one repetition of your
loop.
When you are using JamMan with other MIDI
devices, these numbers allow you to define your
loop size in terms of MIDI quarter-notes.

TAP twice to set the tempo
for the connected device.
No matter what tempo you TAP into
JamMan, the drum machine will always stay
in perfect sync.
