FUNCTIONS & FEAT U R E S
BPM COUNTER
The built-in BPM counter automatically displays the beat count of the
incoming audio signal. When the unit is turned on, the BPM count will
flash 120 BPM (located at the bottom left corner of the LCD display). The
display will keep flashing until the BPM counter picks up an accurate Beat
count. If no audio is passing through the unit, the BPM counter will just
keep flashing, unless a beat count is manually entered. To enter the beat
manually, simply hold down SHIFT and tap the tempo on the TAP/RESET
key. To reset the beat count, simply press and hold both SHIFT and
TAP/RESET for 2 seconds. For better accuracy, the BPM counter is
divided into 3 ranges 60-120, 120-180, 180-240 BPM’s. To select the
desired range, hold down SHIFT while pressing the RANGE button until
the desired range is displayed to the right of the BPM counter.
LCD DISPLAY
The LCD display lets you know just about everything going inside the unit.
At the top left corner is the Program number. Next to it, the actual effect
is displayed. At the bottom left corner is the BPM counter, and to the right
are the X and Y parameters. The X parameter is shown in milliseconds
(ms) for all rhythmic effects: Echo, Auto Pan, Transformer, Flanger, and
Auto-Filter; KiloHertz (KHz) for the Manual Filter; and feedback percent-
age (%) for the Reverb and Pitch Shifter. The Y parameter is always
shown in percentage (See control chart).
To tap or reset the BPM:
1. Press and hold Shift.
2. Tap the BPM on the TAP/RESET key
3. To Reset the BPM, just hold the TAP/RESET
key until the BPM flashes 120
4. Release Shift
To select the BPM range:
1. Press and hold SHIFT.
2. Press the RANGE key until the desired
range appears

TRACKBALL
The trackball controls two of each effect’s parame-
ters (see control chart below) simultaneously. The
X Axis refers to the left to right movement of the
trackball, and the Y axis refers to the up and down
movements. It is possible to use the trackball to
control only one parameter at a time. For example,
once the X parameter is set to the desired value, it
can be bypassed while the Y parameter is
changed, and vice versa. Both and X and Y can be
bypassed simultaneously.
FUNCTIONS & FEA T U R E S
To bypass X or Y:
1. Press and hold Shift.
2. Press HOLD X or HOLD Y
3. Release Shift

To change effect parameters:
1. Move the trackball left to right to
increase X parameters.
2. Move the trackball up to increase
the Y parameters. Down to decrease.
