FX – User Interface
1
SYNC button. Pressing the SYNC button synchronizes
the effects time base with the BPM value of the effects source
chosen via (11) and displayed in the relative display section (9).
This means if the chosen source is any of the input signals
(indicator 9 shows “Cx” or “MC”), the BPM value from the left
area of the BPM display section (5) will be used, if
the chosen source is the master signal (indicator
9 shows “OP”), the BPM value from the right area
of the BPM display section (5) will be used.
Whether the SYNC function is on or off is
displayed via the indicator (4).
2
TAP BPM button for the effect source time base.
Tapping along with the music on this button for at
least 4 taps switches the internal BPM counter to
manual mode, indicated by the symbol “M” in the
left BPM display section (5). The longer the user
taps, the more precise the result will be. The
manual mode is useful if the internal automatic
BPM counter’s result is not precise enough. After
stopping to tap, the result will become permament
and will be displayed in the left section of the BPM
display (5). To derive a new result manually, just
start tapping again. To derive a new result automatically,
press this button only once when being in manual mode,
and the BPM counter returns to the automatic mode,
indicated by the symbol “A” in the left BPM display section (5).
On startup, the unit is by default in automatic mode, and will
analyze the SOURCE signal chosen by (11) and
displayed in (9). The tap button’s backlight will flash
in the speed of the derived BPM value.
3
TAP BPM button for the master signal time base.
The function is the same as (2), but the analyzed
signal is fixed to be the master signal.
4
SYNC Indicator. Indicates whether the effect is
synchronized to the displayed BPM value (indicator on),
or not (indicator off), determined via the button (1).
Synchronization may be set to fractions or multiples
via the control (12), with the setting being displayed
in the left section of the parameter displays (6, 7).
5
BPM DISPLAY section. This section of the display contains two identical
areas left and right,
each containing a numerical display for the BPM value, and a toggling “A” | “M” indicator to
show whether the relative BPM counter is in manual or automatic mode. The left area of this
section displays the BPM counter status for the chosen effects source and is controlled by the
button (2), the right area of this section displays the BPM counter status for the master signal
and is controlled by the button (3).
