BPM DETECTION
The Xone:PX5 features an internal BPM engine that is used for synchronising the internal
XONE:FX to the incoming audio signal.
It is also used for transmitting or receiving midi clock information through the Xone:Sync engine.
BPM Detection
By default the Xone:PX5 BPM detection is Automatic (AUTO) between 60 - 260 BPM and
continuously listens to the FX source:
When in FX INSERT for channels 1, 2, 3, 4, or A, the BPM source is derived from the Assigned
Channel.
When FX ASSIGN is set to: SEND or MASTER, the XONE:FX BPM is derived from the main LR
MIX Clean-feed (Pre XONE:FX Return).
Hold TAP for 3 seconds to reset BPM detection back to AUTO
MIDI Clock Transmit
The Xone:PX5 can generate internal MIDI clock signals which can be sent via USB to a DAW, or
via the MIDI SYNC / OUT port to external hardware.
Refer to the MIDI SETUP Menu option on page 23
for details.
When MIDI Clock Transmit is OFF BPM Detection is Automatic (AUTO)
When MIDI Clock is ON FX unit BPM is derived from the Master MIDI Clock.
MIDI Clock BPM can be adjusted from the menu on the screen or by the ‘BEND’ layer on the top
panel buttons < >
Tap Tempo will overwrite Master MIDI Clock BPM
BPM Clock range 60.00 – 260.00
BPM Accurate to: 000.00 - 2 decimal places
MIDI Clock Receive
If your playback source is a DAW or DJ software running through the internal Hi-Speed USB
multi- channel soundcard, you can use MIDI clock as the timing source for the Xone:PX5; this will
override normal BPM detection and affects all channels.
If you select this mode ensure that your DAW supports sending MIDI clocks, and that this feature
is enabled.
When MIDI Clock is set to OFF BPM Detection is Automatic as above (BPM Detection).
When MIDI Clock is set to Receive FX unit is derived from the incoming external MIDI Clock .
