You can change the display's last two digits to show Frames Per Second (FPS; one
frame is 1/30th of a second) instead of 100ths of a second. This is useful for matching
the display on the Alesis BRC.
To change the display format:
Press and hold the SET LOCATE button.
While holding the SET LOCATE button, press the Track 4 RECORD ENABLE
button.
Each press of the Track 4 RECORD ENABLE button toggles between the display
showing dISP FPS (for frames per second) or dISP rEg. When set to FPS, a small
F lights to the right of the time display.
