For an expression pedal, we recommend using either the M-Audio Black Box Pedal Board, which contains an expression pedal
and two foot switches, or the M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal. Many expression pedals, including the M-Audio EX-P, have a range
control knob. This knob needs to be turned all the way up for the expression pedal to have maximum effect range. Turning the
knob down limits the lowest value of the parameter you are controlling.
Tempo
This allows you to view and manually set a specific tempo value rather then using the tap tempo feature. The range is from 30 to 250
Beats Per Minute. You can also view this parameter by pressing Tap Tempo once.
Tempo Source (Shift: Tempo)
This permits the choice of one of three sources for the playing tempo:
<
TPO PR (Preset tempo): Whenever a new preset is selected, its assigned tempo automatically becomes active.
Note
: Whenever a preset is saved, the current tempo setting it had is saved with the preset as its assigned tempo.
<
TPO DB (Drumbeat tempo): Whenever a new drumbeat is selected, its assigned tempo becomes active.
Note
: The assigned tempo of the drumbeat is set at the factory and though it can be changed, the changed value cannot be resaved
to the drumbeat.
<
TPO GL (Global tempo): The tempo never changes unless manually changed.
This is a Shift parameter. To view or adjust it:
1) Press the Utility button and select column 4.
2) Double-tap the Utility button to enter Shift mode
3) The screen will show the current Tempo Source value. To change it, turn rotary control 4.
This is a global parameter, meaning that it stays where you set it even after you change presets.
Black Box also has two inputs for connecting momentary foot switches. When you connect one or two foot switches to these
inputs, you can use your feet to remotely control any of the top panel’s button functions, such as incrementing or decrementing
presets or drumbeats, turning effects on or off, turning the tuner on or off, etc..
