MIXER SECTION — BPM COUNTER

1

3

BPM Display

Displays the tempo of an analysed piece of music, rounded
up to the nearest whole number.

On power-up, and when the detector is reset, the display
will show a line of three dashes.

When an audio source is routed to the auto beat detector a
dot in the bottom right hand corner will flash to indicate that
BPM analyses is taking place.

The display can also show the BPM to the nearest decimal
place by pressing and holding the TAP button. This will shift
all digits one place to the left.

If the internal MIDI clock has been disabled “OFF” will be
continuously displayed.

1

MIDI Start / Stop Button

Sends MIDI start/stop messages to any connected sequencer.
Note that these messages are sent on release of the switch.

Pressing and holding this switch will reset the auto BPM
detector, but won’t change the current status of the Stop/Start
control.

Pressing and holding this switch for approximately 5sec will
turn off the Xone:3D internal MIDI clock and the BPM display
will change to OFF. Pressing and hold the STOP/START
button again until the three dashes are displayed to reset the
BPM and turn the MIDI clock back ON

The LED ring associated with this control will glow RED when
a Start message is sent, and will also turn ON/OFF when a
MIDI STOP/START/PAUSE command is received from an
external MIDI device connected to the MIDI IN socket of the
Xone:3D

MIDI Clock Push / Pull Switch

When attempting to get a sequencer, such as Ableton Live 5,
to play in time with another music source, for example a CD
or turntable which has been analysed by the auto beat
detector, it is not always possible to get it to start exactly at
the beginning of a bar. This control lets the DJ speed up or
slow down the MIDI clock, rather like pushing or pulling a
turntable platter when beat matching.

Pulling the lever to the left will slow the clock and the BPM
reading will drop, pushing the lever to the right will speed up
the clock and the BPM reading will rise.

When released, the MIDI clock will revert to the originally
displayed BPM.

You can manually set the BPM to any speed between 70 and
400 by pulling or pushing the lever; when the desired speed is
indicated on the display, press the TAP button to lock the
MIDI clock to this speed. To fine tune the BPM to an exact
figure, press and hold the TAP button and when the decimal is
displayed, the speed can be altered by 0.1BPM again by using
the Push/Pull lever.
