Switching phrases to match the tempo
Let's assume that the following three phrases are recorded.
A001: red lights
A002: blue lights
A003: green lights
A004: fade to black
These four phrases are combined to create a pattern phrase.
By setting the phrase switchover timing of pattern phrase
A005 to 'BPM', it is possible to switch consecutively from
phases A001 to A004.
The switchover timing can be designated in bars (quadruple)
up to 999 bars.

When 'BPM' is designated as the switchover timing, the BPM
indicator light comes on and the configured BPM is displayed
during playback.
A symbol indicating the beat during playback also appears
below the BPM display.
