In Use:
1.
First, select a Clock source by pressing the
Clock
parameter,
and selecting between ‘Internal’ and ‘External.’
2.
Press the
BPM
button to access the BPM screen.
or
The screen functions differently depending on the clock source.
● If the SETUP Menu’s
Clock
parameter is set to
‘Internal’
turn the encoder to set the
whole-number BPM value of the internal clock. Press-and-turn the encoder to finely adjust
the tempo in tenths of a BPM. Alternatively, tap the
BPM
button at the desired beat to set
the tempo rhythmically.
SHORTCUT: If
Clock = ‘Internal’
, hold down the BPM button and press one of the eight stage
buttons to directly set a tempo ranging from 20 - 160 BPM (with each Stage button
increasing the tempo by 20 BPM).
● If the SETUP Menu’s
Clock
parameter is set to
‘External’
turn the encoder to divide down the
external clock (
EXT CLOCK DIV
) to achieve the desired tempo. This is likely necessary only
if, for example, you’re feeding Metropolix with a clock (such as 24 ppq or 48 ppq) sent from
an external device. The actual tempo (based on sixteenth note pulses) is displayed in the
BPM
field (which is not directly editable).
SHORTCUT: If
Clock = External
, hold down the BPM button and press one of the eight stage
buttons to directly set the
EXT CLOCK DIV
to one of 8 commonly-selected options.
Specifically, buttons 1-8 correspond to
EXT CLOCK DIV
values of /1, /2, /3, /4, /6/, /12, /24
and /48 respectively.
