About BPM Control
The BPM controls, which consist of:
"BPM settings" and "Synchronizing MIDI devices with
BPM" allow you to synchronize the internal DSP effects
and connected MIDI devices with signals of Record or
CD players.
MIDI devices f
@ The blinking dot under the numbers in the BPM dis-
play lets you check the beat at a glance.
@ Although any increments less than a single beat are
not shown in the display, values to a single place to the
right of the decimal point are still recorded and played.
* BPM stands for "beats per minute," and represents the
number of quarter notes played in one minute.
* The default BPM value is set to 120.0 when the power
is turned on.
* The BPM value can be set in a range from 40.0 to
240.0. (90.0 to 180.0 with automatic measurement).
BPM Settings
You can set the BPM in the following three ways.
1. TAP Button (Setting the BPM in BPM Real Time)
Using quarter notes as the reference beat, when you tap
the TAP button four times, the BPM is figured automati-
cally, and that value shows up in the BPM display (the
three dots below the numbers also turn on).

2. BPM Adjust Button (Manually Changing the Current
BPM)
When you know the preset BPM value, you can also
change the current BPM manually.
By pressing the BPM ADJ [A][¥]
buttons, you can
change the BPM in one-beat units.

When you do this while holding down [SHIFT key (TAP
button)], you can change the BPM in units of one-tenth
of a beat per minute. When you do this, the first digit on
the left shifts, indicating the number to the right of the
decimal point.
ex. BPM = 120.1
3. BPM COUNT (Automatic Measurement)
The BPM of connected equipment (record players, CD
players, etc.) can be measured automatically, within the
range between 90.0 and 180.0 beats per minute.
* When you use the automatic measurement, adjust the
input sensitivity of the signal you are trying to measure
with the GAIN knob for the channel containing the sig-
nal until the BEAT indicator is flashing in time with the
beat, then try the automatic measurement again.
1.Press both BPM buttons at the same time. The BPM
of the signal chosen with CHANNEL
SELECT is
measured. While it is being measured, "---" is shown
in the display.
2.The BPM then appears in the display.
* Automatic measurement can determine BPM from
90.0 to 180.0.
*
When the input sensitivity of the channel to be mea-
sured is not appropriate, the display will respond as
follows:
Try the automatic measurement again after adjusting
the sensitivity with the GAIN and EQ's LOW knobs.
* You may not be able to measure some signals.
The input level is too high.
The input level is too low.
Now being measured.
