Vintage Keys contains an internal Master Clock which runs the arpeg-
giators, synchronizes the LFOs when in tempo-based mode, controls the
times of tempo-based envelopes, and can be used as a modulation source in
the PatchCords section.
You'll notice that there are two tempo values shown in the display.
• Base Tempo - This is the base tempo setting before being modified by
the Tempo Controller (if engaged). See "Tempo Controller" on page 81.
• (Current Tempo) - This is the actual tempo! The current tempo is
equal to the base tempo modulated by the MIDI controller specified in
the Tempo Controller screen. If no MIDI Tempo controller message has
been received since the last Base Tempo change, the Current Tempo will
be equal to the Base Tempo.
To Change the Base Tempo:
