Playing Back a Sample to the Tempo of a Song (BPM SYNC)
You can synchronize the tempo (playback speed) of one sample with another sample.
You can also synchronize the tempo of a sample with that of an external device that’s playing, such as a musical instrument or
computer.
1. Press the [BPM SYNC] button.
This turns BPM SYNC on. The tempo of the sample then synchronizes with the bank tempo or the project tempo. The
playback speed is adjusted so that the sample plays back at the right tempo.
●
Set which tempo is used as the sample’s base tempo for playback in the system parameters.
For details, refer to “ Parameter Guide (P.123)”.
●
To use BPM SYNC, you must first set the accurate tempo data for each sample.
For details, refer to “ Setting the Tempo Data in a Sample (P.83)”.
●
You can make BPM SYNC synchronize either to the bank tempo or to the project tempo.
For details, refer to “ Setting the Tempo for a Bank or Project (P.85)”.
● To turn the BPM SYNC parameter on/off for all samples in a bank, press the [BPM SYNC] button while holding down the
[SHIFT] button.
