TAP TEMPO
VARYING RHYTHM
Tap Tempo can be used to match the delay
times and modulation rates of tempo-based
programs with those of the music. The Tap LED
will flash whenever a tempo-based preset is loaded. To
set tempo from the front panel, press the Tap button
twice in time with the music. It is not required to enter
what could be the delay time in milliseconds. Just press
the Tap button twice, and the unit will calculate the
appropriate delay time. To change tempo, press the Tap
button twice again in the new rhythm. Changes made to
tempo with the Tap button are not considered program
edits, and will not cause the Edit LED to light.
AUDIO TAP
To use audio input to set tempo:
1. Press and hold the Tap button for 2
seconds. (The optional dual footswitch
allows the musician to remain in contact
with the instrument while pressing and holding the
Tap button.)
2. While holding the Tap button, play two short notes
in rhythm, then release the Tap button. The unit will
automatically calculate tempo based on the time
lapse between the two notes.
Audio tap is a must for live performances. It offers a
simple method of setting delay times and modulation
rates to match the music.
