THE PATTERN SEQUENCER
Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL 53
TAP TEMPO
To tap a tempo, hold the [FUNCTION] key and tap the [TEMPO] key at a
steady rhythm.
After four consecutive taps the average tempo of the taps will be set as the
current tempo and it will be showed in the tap tempo window. You can con-
tinue taping the [TEMPO] key, and the taps will be used for refine the aver-
age tempo. A maximum of 16 tempo taps are considered.
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONISATION
The Monomachine can be set to either internal or external synchronisation.
When in internal clock mode the SFX-6/60 outputs a high quality MIDI clock
on the MIDI OUT port. This can be used for keeping external gear in sync
with the Monomachine.
When in external midi clock synchronisation mode the Monomachine will
stay in sync with an external MIDI clock if present. When in external clock
mode the tempo in the upper left corner of the base LCD screen will show
“EXT” for external synchronisation. The tempo screen will show the current
average tempo. The tempo displayed in the tempo screen is only an aver-
age calculation. Even though it might appear to vary the Monomachine is
tightly locked to each MIDI clock signal received.
Read more about how to set the external synchronisation of the Monoma-
chine in section “CONTROL IN” on page 92.
• The tempo is not stored in patterns or kits. However, songs can
store tempo changes.
PATTERN CHAINING
You can use pattern chaining to cue up patterns to be played after each oth-
ers in a loop, like a simple live sequencer for patterns. In pattern mode, hold
a [BANK] button and then press the [TRIG] key for the pattern you want to
be first in the chain. As long as you keep the first [TRIG] key down, subse-
quent [TRIG] keys pressed will add patterns to the end of the chain. It is
only possible to chain patterns from one bank, and each pattern may only be
chained once.
