TEMPO

Tapped or dialed BPM
Set override On/Off
Tapped tempo in ms.
Tempo
Set the global tempo by tapping the Tempo key.
The global tempo can be used as a common tempo
guide in all presets. All Delay algorithms and all
algorithms containing a speed are able to use the
global tempo.
Tapping a tempo into a Delay
All Delay and Speed parameters have links to the Global
Tempo menu. This means that a tapped tempo can be
used in any presets that have these parameters. To make
the tempo fit your purpose, we added a subdivision in all
these algorithms. All you have to do is set up which
subdivision parameter you would like the tempo to divide
into.
Example: You want a Delay to perform 1/8 triplets. Go into
the Edit parameter page of the Delay and select 1/8 T.
Now you can just tap the BPM on the Tempo key (or via a
pedal), and the Delay will automatically recalculate into 1/8
triplets in the current tempo. The same goes for all the
algorithms containing Speeds.
The algorithms able to use the global tempo are:
Delay
Chorus
Flanger
Phaser
Tremolo
Panner
and modifiers
LFO 1
LFO 2
The Tempo display
Tapping the Tempo key will cause the Tempo display to
pop up, and the Billboard will be blinking at the current
tempo. Both the Tempo display and the blinking Billboard
will disappear automatically after a few seconds.
In the Tempo display, you can see the BPM (Beats per
minute) tapped in, or you can dial a BPM placing the cursor
on Tempo, and dialing the Value Wheel.
Maximum tempo - 300 BPM.
Minimum tempo - 20 BPM.
Overide preset tempo at preset change
Controls whether the tempo should be influenced
instantaneously at preset changes or if the new preset
should await the next tapped tempo.
Example: You are using a preset with a straight 1/4 note
delay, and you tapped the tempo into the G-Force, let's say
120 BPM, meaning that you have tapped a Global Tempo
of 500 ms. Now you change preset, and the new preset is
suppose to use 1/8 triplets. Do you want the preset to use
the existing tempo right away, or do you want the preset to
wait for the next tapped tempo.?
Selecting Yes, will enable the presets to use the tempo
instantaneously at preset changes.
Tempo controlled via pedal/MIDI
The Tempo can be tapped via the External input jack on
the back panel of the G-Force or via a MIDI On/Off switch.
That is setup in the I/O Setup, control display.
