The Sync Rate settings are based on semiquaver Steps; that is, sixteen semiquaver beats to
a bar in 4/4 time. At the default sync rate setting of 1/16, the Pattern will be played at the BPM
rate set by the Tempo control

. Selecting a Sync Rate of 1/8 by pressing Pad 3 will play the
Pattern at half the tempo or at double the tempo by selecting 1/32. The Gate times for each
note are correspondingly adjusted to maintain the correct relative musical intervals. Note that
if the Sync Rate is changed while a Pattern is playing, it will rst complete its full cycle - in the
case of Forwards and Backwards Pattern directions - before recommencing at the revised
tempo. If Ping-Pong direction is selected, the change of tempo occurs at the rst or last Step in
the Pattern, whichever occurs rst. With Random direction, the tempo change will occur when
the number of steps in the Pattern has been played.
Sync Rate selection is especially useful when slaving Circuit Mono Station to a source of
external tempo clock.
