Also, the
indicator and ‘Beat 1’ indicator in the MIDI CLOCK display will flash at the
detected BPM rate to show ‘PAUSE’ mode. The right-hand digit of the BPM display may
fluctuate slightly as the BPM engine constantly analyses and updates the reading in real-time.
Any progressive shift in tempo (slowly changing the playback speed using a CD/vinyl deck’s
pitch control) should be tracked and displayed by the MICRO SYNC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the BPM engine has picked up on the OFF-BEAT information in the
track (LEDs flashing on the off-beats) from a prominent Hi-Hat etc., you can use the NUDGE
control’s Pull/Push feature to adjust the synchronisation to the on-beat position - see page 8.
RUN/PAUSE Button (
)
Select a suitable pattern on your MIDI sequencer (basic percussion parts are best when
starting out).
To run the MIDI sequencer, press the 'RUN/PAUSE' button once.
The RUN/PAUSE indicator will now stay on and the MIDI CLOCK display will 'rotate' in
synchronisation with the audio BPM rate to indicate that the MIDI clock output is active. The
selected pattern in your MIDI sequencer should now be playing in synchronisation with the
audio track.
To pause the MIDI sequencer at any time, press the 'RUN/PAUSE' button again. The
MIDI CLOCK display will stop rotating and the RUN/PAUSE / Beat 1 indicators will flash to
indicate PAUSE mode. The MIDI sequencer's pattern or song will be held at the pause
position and will only continue from that point when the RUN/PAUSE button is next pressed.
If you want to run the MIDI pattern from the start point again, in pause mode press the
TAP button
before pressing the RUN/PAUSE button again. This resets the MIDI pattern
or song to beat 1/bar1.
If the strong regular beats in the audio track become unavailable at any time, the 3 remaining
decimal point indicators in the main display will flash continuously as shown:
RUN:
PAUSE:
RESET:
NOTE: To set the initial alignment of the MIDI sequence and audio track, press this button
accurately on the desired beat. Any misalignment error at this stage will be automatically
corrected during the first few seconds of operation. This feature allows you to choose the
exact start point of the MIDI pattern.
once
IMPORTANT NOTE: The MICRO SYNC will continue running the MIDI clock output indefinitely
at the last detected BPM rate if the strong regular beats in the audio track become
unavailable. This feature allows the connected MIDI sequencer to fill in parts during quite
passages in the audio track without interruption or to continue playing after the track has
finished.
