BPM counter

The Auto BPM Counter is automatically able to convert the tempo of the track
being played into BPM (Beats Per Minute). The detected BPM values are the
basis for all time-related effect parameters and for the recording duration of
the sampler. The BPM can be detected in two different ways: manually and
automatically. In both cases, the current BPM is shown in Section B of the display.
Automatically detecting beats with AUTO BPM:
The BPM Counter detects the tempo of the signal source assigned to
the Effect section. The signal source is shown in the BPM section of the
display. (Assigning the signal source to the BPM/Effect section is described
in Chapter 4.1.1.)
1) Make sure that "Auto BPM" is activated. When active, the AUTO BPM
push button (50) shines yellow and the BPM indicator flashes on the display.
◊
Should Tap Mode be active (AUTO BPM push button shines blue),
press the AUTO BPM push button longer than one second to
activate Auto BPM.
2) Now the BPM Counter determines the BPM value of the played signal.
It is constantly brought up to date to be able to respond immediately to
any tempo changes.
Manually detecting beats with TAP:
1) Make sure that Tap Mode is activated. When active, the AUTO BPM/TAP
push button (50) shines blue and the BPM indicator shows "Manual."
2) Tap the TAP push button (50) (at least 2x) in the rhythm of the music,
which results in a constant BPM value. Here's a tip: while tapping,
listen in on the signal using the headphones.
◊
Should Auto BPM be active (AUTO BPM push button shines
yellow), go to Step 2. When tapping the tempo, Manual Mode
is automatically activated.
3) The BPM value can always be readjusted by tapping over and over again.
◊
The Auto BPM is always active when the device is turned on.
