Dynamic modulation (Dmod) and Tempo Synchronization
Dynamic modulation (Dmod)
Dynamic modulation lets you control certain effects
parameters in real-time, using either the built-in controllers
or MIDI. These effect parameters are marked with the logo
.
For more information, see "Dynamic Modulation Sources
(Dmod)" on page 910.
Tempo Synchronization
You can synchronize some effects parameters, such as LFO
speeds and delay times, to the system tempo. This lets you
sync the effects to Program LFOs, step sequencers, Wave
Sequences, X-Y Envelope, ARP, the internal sequencer, and
external MIDI clocks.
These effects parameters are marked with the logo
Synchronizing LFOs
Most effects with LFOs, such as 016: Stereo Wah/Auto Wah,
can be synchronized to tempo. This applies to the individual
effects LFOs, and also the Common FX LFO.
To set up LFOs to synchronize to tempo:
1. Set MIDI/Tempo Sync to On.
2. Set the BPM as desired.
To synchronize to the system clock, set BPM to MIDI.
To set the LFO to a specific tempo, separate from the system
clock, set BPM to the desired tempo (between 40 and 240
BPM).
3. Use the Base Note and Times (x) parameters to set the
rhythmic value of the LFO.
For instance, if you set Base Note to 1/8 and Times (x) to 2,
each cycle of the LFO will last for a quarter-note (two
eighth-notes).

Synchronizing Delay Times
Delays with "BPM" in their title will sync to tempo.
For instance, you might set up effect 093: Stereo BPM Delay
as follows:
1. Set L Delay Base Note to 1/8, and Times (x) to 1
2. Set R Delay Base Note to 1/16, and Times (x) to 3
This means that the left channel will be delayed by an
eighth-note, and the right channel will be delayed by a dotted
eighth-note (three sixteenth-notes).

3. Set the BPM as desired.
To synchronize to the system clock, set BPM to MIDI.
To set the delays to a specific tempo, separate from the
system clock, set BPM to the desired tempo (between 40 and
240 BPM).
If the combination of the tempo, Base Note, and Times (x)
settings in conjunction would exceed the maximum delay
time, a warning such as "Time Over? >OVER!" will appear
.
in the display. If this happens, just reduce the delay time.
Note that the maximum delay time depends on which delay
effect you're using. For instance, the maximum delay time
for 093: Stereo BPM Delay is 1,360msec, while the
maximum delay time for 094: Stereo BPM Long Delay is
2,730msec.
