TASCAM X-9 Owner’s Manual
Some music may have rather complex rhythms, and
it may be unable to determine the beat automatically.
If the X-9 cannot determine the timing of
the music automatically, you can use the
TAP key to set the timing.
The TAP key can also be used to set the
tempo used for the effect when the EFFECT key is
not lit.
The different values obtainable here (1, 2, 4, 1/2, etc.)
allow you to set up interesting rhythms matching the
tempo of the music to the effect.
The TAP and BPM indicators under the display show
whether the timing has been obtained manually
(
TAP ) or automatically ( BPM ).
To exit the BEAT mode, turn the DATA knob to enter
the time setting mode. Turning the knob again will
edit the time value.
Effect parameters
The following are the parameters which may be set
for the X-9’s internal effects:
Storing effects
You can store up to 30 of each type of effect with the
settings you have made in the X-9 (these settings are
memorized, even when the power is turned off). This
means 8 types of effect with 30 memories for each
effect = 240 memories in total.
1 Make sure the EFFECT key is lit (if
it is not, this procedure will not
work).
2 Press and hold the
FUNCTION key for about
two seconds. The MEMO
indicator blinks, and the
display shows
MEMO
(MEMO).
3 Press the ENTER key. The MEMO
indicator now lights steadily, and
number of the next empty “slot” for
storing effects is shown in the display.
If all the available slots have been filled, the
display alternately shows
FULL (FULL) and
1 .
4 Use the DATA knob to select the number of
the slot to store the effect (if you don’t want
to use the empty one suggested by the X-9 or
if you have to overwrite an existing setting).
The number flashes in the display (or if all
slots are full, the display alternately shows
FULL (FULL) and the number you selected.
5 Press the ENTER key. If the slot is empty, the
settings are stored in the slot, and the existing
settings are overwritten. If there is data
already in the slot, the display shows
