MASTER MENU
• Tempo Control
This function allows MIDI controllers to change the Global Tempo
which is used for Beats mode, Retrigger, and the synced LFOs. Any
controller number from 0-31, mono pressure, or the pitch wheel can be
assigned to change the Global Tempo. A different controller can be
used to change the tempo up or down. The Pitch Wheel can be
assigned to both the up and down parameters to vary the tempo up
and down from a single controller. MIDI Controller values are added to
the Global Tempo with an offset range of ±64. When the controller is
set to zero (off) the tempo returns to its original setting. This controller
is only recognized on MIDI channel 16, unless Orbit is in Omni mode,
in which case all channels are accepted. This control has no effect
when external clock is being used.

• Retrigger
The Retrigger function creates a “stuttering” effect by resetting the
sample start point and envelope generators to their starting point every
time a trigger is received. The rate of retriggering is based on the Global
Tempo which is divided down by the Retrigger Rate parameter. A MIDI
continuous controller (0-31 or Mono Pressure) can also be assigned to
control the Global Tempo divisor. Set the rate parameter to “Off” to
disable retriggering.
