Tempo Indication in LFO Sync mode
In LFO Sync mode the tempo is set either by turning the
Engine A SPEED knob or by tapping the TAP TEMPO

If you set the tempo using the Engine A SPEED knob the
LED next to the SPEED knob will indicate the tempo.
If you tap the tempo using the TAP TEMPO switch, the
TAP TEMPO LED will indicate the tempo.

the Speed parameter values of both Engine A and
Engine B will change to the values originally stored in
the preset.
