Beat-Stepping - ALCATECH BPM STUDIO 4 PRO User Manual

Professional working with RCP-2001
Based on the exact BPM values of the Realtime
BPM Counter you can navigate unrestricted within
the exact Beat Raster of the title as soon as a
Cue-Point has been singly synchronized to a beat.
This possibility can be useful by editing Cue-
Points and start or end points in the Loop Player.
All the following functions are only practicable if
the Player is in Cue Mode or if the Edit Mode of
the Loop Player is activated. Read corresponding
chapters of manual how Beat-Stepping can be
especially applied.
(1.) A usual change of a Cue point will move it
constantly forward or backwards. This way also
the first Cue-Point will be defined for the Beat-
Stepping resp corrected. You can use the disc of
the Jog Shuttle Wheel to displace a Cue-Point.
(2.) Using Beat-Stepping you can navigate
through the title by beats beginning from a already
defined Cue-Point.
It is necessary to store the BPM value
determined exactly by the Realtime BPM
Counter earlier,
combination: [MEMORY] + [SET] . It
decreases possible differences in the
positions of the title, where the Beat
cannot be predetermined exactly.
using the key
(nur RCP-1001 und 2001)
This can be attained by simultaneous holding the
[LOAD] key and pressing any of the Pitch Bend
keys:
(3.) By using Tact-Stepping you can navigate
through the title by tacts (4 beats each), beginning
from a already defined Cue-Point.
Therefore hold the [LOAD] key [11] pressed and
turn the disc of the Jog Shuttle Wheel.
While the Player is in Cue mode, each time 160
ms will be played from the Cue-Point repeatedly
as a Loop. (See chapter "Beat Matching with BPM
Studio").
