Tempo

Tempo ON/OFF

Tempo is turned ON or OFF by momentarily pressing the Encoder. When Tempo is ON, the

Tempo LED flashes at the Tempo rate. With Tempo OFF, the Tempo LED is OFF.

Tap Tempo

In Play Mode, the Tap Footswitch can be tapped to set the tempo. While tapping, the

Billboard displays the updated Tempo.

Note: When using an Aux Switch to tap tempo, the Billboard will display the tempo value in

both Play and Bank Modes.

Adjusting Tempo

The Encoder can be used to set or tweak the Tempo value in BPM if Tempo is ON or in Hz if

Tempo is OFF. To use the Encoder, first press the Tap Footswitch (you must be in Play Mode)

so that the Billboard displays the Tempo value. Whenever the Tempo value is displayed, the

Encoder can be turned to adjust the Tempo. While adjusting, the Billboard displays the

updated Tempo and the parameter Control Knobs are disabled.

Global Tempo

Tempo is always saved with each Preset. Often however, it’s useful to set the Tempo 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.
