DISENGAGING THE BPM ENGINE
TAP/CLEAR BUTTON
The BPM engine can be temporarily disengaged when there is a possibility of erratic audio input tempo (during
cueing procedures etc) disrupting the playback speed of the pre-recorded loops. To disengage the BPM engine at
any time press the [DISENGAGE] button once, as shown in the following example:
The display will now show the following:
The last detected BPM value will continue to flash on the display and any further beat information will be ignored by
SoundBITE until such time as the BPM engine is re-engaged.
To re-engage the BPM engine simply press the [DISENGAGE] button again. The display will now show the
following:
The BPM engine is now re-engaged and operating normally.
This multi-function button allows you to manually enter a tempo by hand or erase the current BPM reading. The
TAP feature should be used to set the BPM rate if there is no audio signal present or when the beat information
becomes unavailable during a quite passage of the audio track (intro, middle eight etc). The CLEAR feature can be
used to cancel the current BPM reading.
To enter a BPM rate from an ‘IDLE’ condition (no audio beat detected) use your finger to tap in
a tempo on the TAP button (within the current BPM range). After 3-4 taps the tempo will be shown on the main
BPM display.
The TAP feature can be used to override the BPM engine if it is in 'free-wheeling’ mode only. Use a finger to tap in
the new tempo. After 3-4 taps the updated tempo will be shown on the main BPM display and the loop playback will
immediately change to the new BPM rate. The TAP function can also be used to assist the BPM engine as it
