Fade
Activate RATE and then press the bump button of any fader (in MEMS mode) with a
sequence.Then hold RATE.
Use the wheel to set a Fade % that will scale the fade times of the whole Sequence. Fade
0% means no fade. Original fade timing is not lost and may be recovered by clearing the
Fade %.
BPM
Beats Per Minute (BPM) is a musical term that can be applied to the playback rate of a
sequence in looped mode. The BPM rate will override all times. All steps will be set to toggle
on/off with the same duration as the BPM.
Step 1:
Activate RATE and then press the bump button of any fader (in MEMS mode)
with a sequence. Then hold RATE.
Step 2:
While holding RATE, tap the bump button of the fader with a sequence to set the
BPM. When you let go of RATE you will return to the rate display, where the
resulting BPM time is shown instead of Rate.
Step 3:
Use the wheel to set a BPM that will scale the step times of the whole Sequence.
Original timing is not lost and may be recovered by clearing rate.
