Section 4 - Algorithms
TEMPO DELAY
00 - Tempo Delay features a stereo digital delay (similar to MultiTap) where the tempo is
controlled by an assignable modulation source, like a foot switch.
The parameters available for this algorithm are:
01-Mix
02-Volume
See the descriptions under the Mix and Volume Parameters, in the beginning of this section.
03 - Tempo Delay Time
Range: various
This parameter selects one of twelve different settings to determine the delay rate: 1/32 note,
1/16 triplet, 1/16 note, 1/16 dotted, 1/8 triplet, 1/8 note, 1/8 dotted, 1/4 triplet, 1/4 note, 1/4
dotted, 1/2 triplet and 1/2 note.
04 - Internal Clock Tempo
Range: 050 to 250 bpm
This parameter determines the number of beats per minute (bpm) for the tempo when controlled
by the internal clock. If MIDI Clocks or Footswitch1 Tapping is assigned (parameter 06), this
parameter does nothing.
05 - TempoDelay Fine Tune
Range: -99 to +99
This parameter allows you to fine tune the delay time. Lower values have a faster speed.
06 - Tempo Control
Range: various
This parameter determines how the tempo will be controlled: Internal clock, :MIDI clocks, or
FootSwitch 1 Tapping.
In order for Foot Switch 1 to work as a controller, it must be assigned as a DP / 4 Controller in
System. MIDI mode (parameter 45). The foot switch is then pressed twice (tapping quarter notes)
to set the tempo. Continued tapping on the foot switch will cause the tempo to change, because
the DP / 4 always reads the sum of the last two presses. This could be a useful technique for songs
or arrangements where the tempo is constantly changing.
