If a Program is running (
i.e.
currently sending Clock data), pressing the START Button will stop the
clock unless a new Program number has been selected. In that case, pressing the START Button will send
the new Program Change message and the Clock data will continue uninterrupted.
When a new Program number has been selected but not yet engaged, the Display will flash. If no
Program is running, pressing the START Button will cause a MIDI Start command to be sent, together with
Program Change data, followed by a constant stream of Clock data.
Note: Stopping then re-starting the same Program does not cause additional Program Change
data to be sent.
Note: If the tempo has been altered but not saved, stopping then re-starting the same Program
does not recall the stored tempo, instead the altered tempo will continue to be used rather
than the stored tempo.
If a different Program is used, and later the previous Program is recalled, the previous
Program will recall its stored tempo rather than the altered tempo.
In order to keep an
altered tempo, the Program must be saved
, as described below.
Note: No program change is sent when powering up. To send the first program change, the start
button must be pressed.
TAP Button (F)
The TAP Button performs two separate functions, Tempo Control and Program Storage.
Tempo Control
When the TAP Button is first pressed, the current tempo is displayed. This provides a simple way
to check the tempo without altering it.
Pressing the TAP Button again within 2.5 seconds will adjust the tempo to the interval between the
taps. The new tempo starts right after the second or most recent tap. The time between the two most
recent taps
always
corresponds to the length of a quarter note.
The Display will show the adjusted tempo and light up the far right decimal point to indicate a new
tempo has been received.
Once at least one tap is received, the UP and DOWN Buttons and the SELECT Knob can be used to
"fine tune" the tempo.
Note: After the UP or DOWN Buttons are pressed or the SELECT Knob is turned, additional taps
have no effect.
Maximum tap interval = 2.5 seconds (24 bpm)
Minimum tap interval = 0.25 seconds (240 bpm)
