Using the Faze
Tap Tempo
This button affects the speed of the effect whenever the
[MODULATION] switch is set to a TEMPO SYNC mode. At
any time you can tap this button along with the music to set a new
tempo. The Tap Tempo light will flash at the current tempo.
Tap Tempo technique
For a reliable tempo setting, make several taps in a row at a
consistent speed, especially if you're changing the tempo
drastically. Watch the flashing of the light to see the current
tempo of the Faze.
Adjusting tempo with audio input
After the basic tempo has been set using the [TAP TEMPO]
button, it is possible to make small adjustments to the tempo via
the audio input. You do this by "tapping" on the instrument
(playing sharp chords, or beats, without sustain or notes
inbetween) at almost the same speed as the Faze's tempo LED, or
by slightly changing the speed of a drum machine feeding the
inputs. The Faze can derive a beat from a complex musical input,
as long as it is reasonably close to the original "tapped" tempo.
The tempo can adjust up or down about 15% from the original
tempo tapped in.
How Tap Tempo works with Tempo Sync and
the Rate knobs
When TEMPO SYNC mode is enabled, the rate of the modulation
will be based on the tempo currently being flashed, multiplied by
the position of its [RATE] knob: when it's in the middle position
(around "12 o'clock"), the speed of the triangle, sample/hold,
uncertainty wave, or the pattern, will be the same as the tempo.
(Tempo has no effect on Envelope modulations.) See the earlier
descriptions of the [RATE] knob and Tempo Sync for more
information.
