Using the BPM/TAP
button

55

Tap out the beat!

Change the bpm in real time! Tap the BPM/TAP button twice rhythmically, while the Pattern is run-
ning — and the bpm automatically changes to the tapped speed.

56

Start with a tap...

You can also get the Pattern going at whatever speed you like by simply tapping it out. Select a Pat-
tern, then instead of hitting one of the Pattern Player, tap the BPM/TAP button — four times, in
rhythm — and the Pattern starts automatically at the bpm you’ve tapped.

While you’re tapping, the display shows each of your four taps, then displays the resulting bpm.

Tech note Only two taps are needed to start Pattern 42, since that Pattern is in 2/4 time.
