The tri-colour indicator shows the following colours for each BPM
engine condition:
[RED] = Engine IDLE (or BPM lock lost)
[BLUE] = Engine ON and locked-in to audio beat
[BLUE FLASH] = Engine ON but disengaged
TIP! The BPM engine will continue looping samples and sending
MIDI clock at the last detected BPM rate if the regular beats in the
audio track become unavailable. This feature allows the loops/MIDI
clock to continue operating through quiet passages or at the end of
the audio track.
The BPM engine can be temporarily disengaged when there is a
possibility of erratic audio input tempo disrupting the playback
speed of the loops/MIDI clock (during cueing procedures etc).
To disengage the BPM engine, press the [BPM ON/OFF] button
once (avoid holding it down too long as you may activate [SLEEP]
mode accidently). The tri-colour indicator will flash [BLUE] to
indicate the BPM engine is now disengaged.
The last detected BPM value will be used to control the loop/midi
clock tempo and any further beat information will be ignored until
such time as the BPM engine is re-engaged. You can now cue in
confidence - the loop playback and MIDI clock will remain stable no
matter what happens to the audio input signal.
To re-engage the BPM engine simply press the [BPM ON/OFF]
button once again. The tri-colour indicator will once again light solid
[BLUE] to indicate the BPM engine is now re-engaged and
operating normally.
