PRODUCING BEAT EFFECTS

Beat effects allow the instant setting of effect times in synch with
the BPM (beats per minute), thus allowing the production of a
wide variety of effects in synch with the current rhythm, even
during live performances.

1

Set BPM measuring mode to AUTO to measure BPM (beats
per minute).

The BPM of the input music signal is detected automatically.
Whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to the
[

AUTO

] mode.

• In the event the track’s BPM cannot be detected

automatically, the display’s BPM counter will flash.

• Measurable range: BPM=70 to 180.

It may not be possible to measure some tracks
accurately.

In this case, press the

TAP

button and input the beat

manually.

[Using the TAP Button for Manual BPM Input]

If the

TAP

button is tapped two times or more in synch with

beat (1/4 notes), the BPM will be recorded as the average value
recorded during that interval.

• When BPM mode is set to [

AUTO

], tapping the

TAP

button

will cause the BPM mode to change to the TAP mode, and
the interval at which the

TAP

button is pressed will be

measured.

• When the BPM is set via the

TAP

button, the beat multiple

becomes “

1/1

” (or “

4/1

”, depending on the effect selected),

and the time for 1 beat (1/4 notes) or 4 beats will be set as
the effect time.

• If the

TIME

dial is rotated while depressing the

TAP

button,

direct BPM can be set manually.
If the

TIME

dial is rotated while holding the

TAP

button and

AUTO

buttons depressed, the BPM can be set in 0.1 units.

2

Set the effect selector to the desired effect.

• The display will show the name of the selected effect.
• See P. 16 to 17 for details regarding the various effects.

3

Set the effect channel selector to the channel you wish to
apply the effect to.

• The selected channel lights in the display’s channel name

area.

• If [

MIC

] is selected, the effect will be applied to both

microphone 1 and microphone 2.

4

Press the BEAT button (

,

) to select the beat multiple to

which the effect is to be synchronized.

• When

is pressed, the beat count calculated from the BPM

is doubled, and when

is pressed, the beat count

calculated from the BPM is halved (some effects also allow

3/4

” setting).

• The multiple of the selected beat (parameter 1 position) is

displayed in seven sections on the display (see P. 12).

• The effect time corresponding to the beat’s multiple is set

automatically.

Example: When BPM = 120
1/1 = 500 ms
1/2 = 250 ms
2/1 = 1 000 ms

5

Set the ON/OFF button to ON to enable the effect.

• Each time the button is pressed, the effect alternates ON/

OFF (whenever power is first turned ON, the function
defaults to OFF).

• The

ON/OFF

button flashes when the effect is ON.

Parameter 1

Rotating the

TIME

(

PARAMETER 1

) dial adjusts the temporal

parameter (time) for the selected effect. (With some effects, this is
used for adjustments other than time parameters.)
See P. 20 for details regarding the effect on parameter 1 of rotating
the

TIME

(

PARAMETER 1

) dial.

Parameter 2

Rotating the

LEVEL/DEPTH

(

PARAMETER 2

) dial adjusts the

quantitative parameter for the selected effect.
See P. 20 for details regarding the effect on parameter 2 of rotating
the

LEVEL/DEPTH

(

PARAMETER 2

) dial.
