Zoom ST-224 - Manual (Page 41)

The automatically calculated BPM value appears on the display.
The range of BPM values allowed by the ST-224 is 40 - 250. If the
calculated BPM value is outside of this range, it is multiplied or
divided by 2 until it fits in the range.
Each push of the [-] or [+] key changes the setting within the
allowable range. For example, if the current setting is 120, the setting
cycles as follows: 120 (4 beats) ➔ 240 (8 beats) ➔ 60 (2 beats).
Choose the setting that corresponds to the number of beats in the
current sample.

Changing BPM for Every Pad (Auto Sync Advanced Steps)
As explained in the previous section, the ST-224 regards the length of a sample assigned to a pad as 4
beats, and automatically calculates the BPM value for that pad. However, sometimes it may be desirable
to synchronize phrases or patterns with a different beat pattern (such as combining a 4-beat bass pattern
with an 8-beat drum pattern or a 2-beat sequencer pattern). In such a case, the BPM of a pad must be set
to the actual value before using the auto sync function. Proceed as described below to change the BPM of
a pad.
