When you're done editing you can save the changes to the current preset by holding down footswitch A
or B as you would normally save a preset. If you would like to exit the Edit mode without saving any
changes into the presets simply hold down the View / Edit button again until the display returns to nor-
mal scene.

2.8 Tap Tempo

In Specular Tempus tap-tempo can be accomplished in 2 ways :
1. From the pedal itself, using footswitch B as tap-tempo switch.
2. Using external switch box (see Chapter 4).
With option 1, footswitch B becomes tap-tempo switch and can no longer be used to call patch B.
Therefore, under this scheme the available number of presets is four : 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A. You
can still save changes to preset 1B, 2B, 3B, and 4B, but you won't be able to call them.

Subdivisions

A few words about subdivisions :


Available values : Triplets, 1/8-Note, Dotted 8th, and 1/4-Note.

Subdivision value can be uniquely specified for each individual preset.

When you call a preset the subdivision value is updated to the value as stored in the preset.
However you may change it on the fly using the TIME knob.

Local / Global tempo

The tempo of the Delay algorithms in Specular Tempus can be set to be local or global.
Local means the delay time is set to the tempo as was saved in the preset.
Global means the delay time is set to a global tempo shared by other delay algorithms.
For example, 2 different delay algorithms are stored in preset 1A and 1B, both are set to use global
tempo. Then any tempo changes you make while using the delay in preset 1A will become a global
tempo which will then dictate the tempo for the delay algorithm in preset 1B.

The Local / Global setting can be specified on per-preset basis.
