Tap Tempo
Tap Tempo is an easy and intuitive way to adjust the speed of the LFO Rate or the Arpeggiator Clock. The
Tap Tempo function is always available for any preset in PRESET Mode. Tap Tempo can be used to adjust the
LFO Rate when the Arpeggiator is not running,, or adjust the Arpeggiator Clock when the Arpeggiator is
running.
To enter Tap Tempo Mode, press and hold the LFO RATE button until it starts flashing rapidly; this indicates
that Tap Tempo Mode is active.
When Tap Tempo is active and the Arpeggiator is not running, tapping the LFO RATE button will set the
internal LFO Rate and override the LFO Sync Mode (see ‘LFO SYNC’ on page 27). Both the LFO LED
and the LFO RATE button will begin flashing at the new rate, and the bottom line of the LCD will display a
status message indicating that the Tap Tempo function is active:
NOTE: If the Arpeggiator is set to ‘MIDI CLOCK’ when Tap Tempo is active, Tap Tempo will
adjust the internal LFO Rate and not the Arpeggiator Clock.
If the MODULATION control knob is adjusted while in Tap Tempo Mode, it will override the Tap Tempo and
adjust the LFO Rate or Arpeggiator Clock to the new value.
To exit Tap Tempo Mode, press and hold the LFO RATE button until it stops flashing. This will return to
the previous mode (either free running or MIDI clock).
When Tap Tempo is active and the Arpeggiator is running, tapping the LFO RATE button will set the rate
of the Arpeggiator Clock. Both the LFO LED and the LFO RATE button will begin flashing at the new rate,
and the LCD will display the new rate in BPM:
NOTE: Once activated, Tap Tempo will remain activate even if you change presets. The Tap
Tempo rate from the previous preset will not be transferred to the new preset, however.
