Arpeggiator Parameters
Tap TempoTapping the tap tempo button sets the tempo from 30 to
250 BPM. The LED ashes at the BPM rate you set. Tap the button at
least 4 times to set the tempo.
BPM: 30…250—Sets the tempo for the arpeggiator in BPM (beats per
minute). The tap tempo LED ashes at the BPM rate. When lfo sync is
enabled on the low-frequency oscillator, or clock sync is enabled in the
Effects section, the BPM rate affects the LFO frequency and/or delay effect.
When syncing to an external MIDI clock source, the BPM setting has no effect.
