Tempo

Tempo ON/OFF

Tempo is turned ON/OFF by simultaneously pressing the Right Footswitch and the

PRESETS button. With Tempo OFF, tapping can be used to adjust delay parameter

values (displayed as milliseconds or Hz). With Tempo ON, tempo is in BPM.

Tap Tempo

The Right Footswitch is used to tap the tempo. In Preset mode (Tap LED OFF), first

press and hold the Right Footswitch for 2 seconds. If Tempo is ON, the display

indicates the current tempo in BPM (30 to 500 BPM) while tapping and the Tap

LED will blink at the BPM rate. If Tempo is OFF, the display indicates the

parameter value (milliseconds for most algorithms). The Tap LED will be solidly lit.

Note: When using an Aux Switch to tap tempo, the tempo value is displayed.

Fine-tuning Tempo

The Knob can be used to set or tweak the Tempo value in BPM (Tempo ON) or the

parameter (Tempo OFF). While tapping, and with the tempo value displayed, the

Knob can be turned to adjust the Tempo or parameter value. While adjusting, the

display shows the updated Tempo or delay value.

Global Tempo

Tempo is always saved with each Preset. Often however, it can be useful to make

the tempo uniform for all of the Presets that you’re using. To do this, use the

System GLOBAL TEMPO command. When GLOBAL TEMPO is ON, the Tempo value

saved with the Preset is ignored and the current Tempo value is used for all

Presets.
