TAP DIVIDE Button and LEDs This button cycles through the six possible
settings for TAP DIVIDE. Each setting, except when all LEDS are off, will divide
the tap tempo to create shorter delay times in sync with your original tempo. It
works like so: The DMMTT always assumes that the musician taps in a quarter
note. That quarter note can then be divided down to five other types of notes:
dotted eighth note, quarter note triplet, eighth note, eighth note triplet and
sixteenth note. The sixth mode is quarter note or OFF, where the tap tempo is
not divided down and the delay time is set to your actual tap time. No LEDs are
lit when Tap Divide is set to quarter note/OFF. Below is a chart displaying the six
modes, their divide ratios and an example of the delay time for each mode:
TAP DIVIDE
MODE
SYMBOL
DELAY TIME (for a 600 mS
TAP)
Quarter Note / OFF
600 mS
Dotted 8th Note
450 mS
Quarter Note Triplet
400 mS
8th Note
300 mS
8th Note Triplet
200 mS
16th Note
150 mS
N.B. The TAP DIVIDE button has no effect on the delay time when the delay is
set by the DELAY knob. Cycling through the different TAP DIVIDE modes, when
the delay time was last set by the DELAY knob, will not change the delay time in
any way.
The TAP DIVIDE button setting is saved and recalled when power cycling.
TAP DIVIDE SEQUENCE MODE The DMMTT contains a little easter egg
called Tap Divide Sequence mode. In this mode, the DMMTT will automatically
cycle through the six tap divide modes at a rate set by the RATE knob. To use
this mode, do the following:
1. Tap in a delay time. Tap Divide Sequence mode will not work if the
delay time is set by the DELAY knob.
2. Press and hold the TAP DIVIDE button for 2 seconds. After 2
seconds, all of the TAP DIVIDE LEDs will light up briefly, now you
are in sequencer mode. You can release the button.
3. Turn the RATE knob to change the speed of the sequence. You
should see the tap divide LEDs light up in a sequential fashion.
4. You can tap in new delay times to change the delay time range.
5. To exit Tap Divide Sequence mode: hold down the TAP DIVIDE
button for another 2 seconds. All 5 LEDs will light briefly to indicate
you have exited sequence mode. You could also simply turn the
DELAY knob.
