Strum Tempo Option

Firebird X can use a Switchboard footswitch to set the delay time (called "tap tempo").
However, you can also set the delay time with Firebird X's unique Strum Tempo option.
1. Select any patch that has a Delay effect enabled.
2. Toggle the silver tog-pot rapidly three times between Tuning (down position) and Piezo
(center position).
3. T appears in the center of the Gear Shift knob.
4. Mute the strings with your left hand and strike the strings four times with your right
hand. The onboard computer will calculate the delay time from these peaks.
5. Play Firebird X and determine that the delay time is correct. If not, repeat steps 1-4 and
make you you strike the strings with sufficient force to create strong peaks.
