Tempo
When Clock Source is set to Internal, the Tempo parameter sets the PC3LE's system tempo. The
Tempo parameter values are in units of BPM (beats per minute). This controls the tempo of any
arpeggiators used in the current setup, any riffs that have their BPM parameter set to Setup, any
tempo based effects, and the currently selected song in Song mode. You can also set the tempo
using the tap tempo button (located on the front panel below the Mode buttons.) Tap the Tap
Tempo button on beat for a measure or two at the desired tempo to set a tempo. This also brings
up the Tap Tempo page (see
Clock Source
With the Clock Source parameter, you can set the PC3LE—within the current setup—to generate
its own tempo by setting Clock Source to Internal, or you can set the PC3LE to sync up with the
tempo from another device—assuming the device is sending MIDI clock data to the PC3LE via
MIDI or USB—by setting Clock Source to External. When Clock Source is set to External, the
Tempo parameter disappears from the display.
Arpeggiator Global (ArpGlobal)
With the ArpGlobal parameter, you can set each zone's Arpeggiator to act as if they all have the
same parameters on the
settings as there are zones in the current setup. For example, in a seven-zone setup, you can
select a value of OFF, or Arp 1–7 for ArpGlobal. The number of the ArpGlobal setting indicates
which zone's Arpeggiator is being globalized. Thus, in this same seven-zone setup, with
ArpGlobal set to Arp 4, all seven zones will behave as specified by the
parameters for zone 4.
