Acuma Time Pak
Tempo = Rate + Position
Tempo has two main characteristics, the tempo rate and
the position of the beats. The time interval between beats
is the rate. The position or placement of the beats is best
described by the classic band question; “where’s one?” Or
if you’ve ever had the pleasure of turning the beat around
while playing with a drum machine, you’ll know what we
mean.
Note: Right mouse click on the Acuma logo to turn the Tempo lock
on or off. Use the Left mouse button to input tap tempo.
MIDI
The MIDI button lets you sync Time Pak to MIDI values that are
set within the Setup/Locate window of the D8B software. See
the D8B manual for more details.
If you are unsatisfied with the timing, you can simply start over
again by unlocking the current tempo (right mouse click) and
tapping the left mouse button more than once to calculate a new
tempo.
