USER MANUAL
Also, the Bitstream 3X is capable of generating real-time MIDI events in order to synchronize the
sequencers and other synchronisables instruments, and also, the internal automation functions of the
Bitstream 3X.
The different functions of the Bitstream 3X requiring MIDI synchronization include the automation
functions (LFO, Arppeggiator, Motion sampler). Each of these 3 functions have, independently, their
own method of synchronization (internal or external), accessible via the menus of the Bitstream 3X.
For instance, the user has the possibility to synchronize the LFO by the real-time messages received
from the MIDI input, the arppeggiator by the real-time messages received from the USB input, and the
Motion Sampler from the internal clock of the Bitstream 3X.
The different methods of synchronization offered are not exclusive; all the possibilities are authorized
and usable at the same time, which makes the Bitstream 3X very powerful in terms of synchronization.

Usage of standard buttons
The five transport buttons can be equally used as standard assignable buttons, in the same way as
the other eight.
To use these five buttons as assignable buttons, press the SHIFT key at the same time as one of the
five.
When the shift key is active, these five buttons become completely independent of their Play/Stop
mode, and are now available for the 21 groups of the Bitstream 3X, completely assignable in User
mode.
