SYNC Indicator
NUDGE Control
This 3-way indicator shows beat synchronisation adjustments between the audio track and
the MIDI sequencer’s beat position. The MICRO SYNC constantly analyses the accuracy of
the relative beat positions and will either 'PULL' or 'PUSH' the MIDI clock output to maintain
this synchronisation.
When the audio and MIDI are
the green 'OK' indicator will light.
If the MIDI clock is
of the audio, the red 'PULL' indicator will light.
If the MIDI clock is
the audio, the red 'PUSH' indicator will light.
The 4-button NUDGE control lets you make fine adjustments to the BPM rate and audio/MIDI
synchronisation point.
During normal operation,
the BPM engine will automatically detect and adjust itself to the correct BPM value. However,
if the MICRO SYNC’s software is ‘free-wheeling’ or you wish to adjust a ‘tapped in’ tempo, you
can use the North /South positions of the NUDGE control to increase or decrease the BPM
value in 0.1 BPM steps.
To increase the BPM reading by 0.1 BPM, press the top button once, as in the following
example:
To decrease the BPM reading, press the lower button once (
). Press and hold down
either button to scroll through the BPM values. Further ‘valid’ beat information detected by the
BPM engine will override any manual changes made with these buttons.
The BPM +/Up, -/Down buttons can be used to quickly enter a
default BPM value. When the BPM engine is ‘Idle’ (four centre bars on), simply press either
button to set the default reading of 120 BPM . The MICRO SYNC is now ready to run the
connected MIDI sequencer at 120 BPM. You can adjust this setting with the TAP or NUDGE (-
/BPM or +/BPM) buttons.
