modulation effects. All factory rigs have the tempo disabled by default, as we cannot know in advance
what tempo you are going to need.
When no tempo has been set, these parameters will show you the absolute time values in Hertz or sec-
onds.
There are three ways to activate the tempo:
• Tap the desired tempo on the TAP button.
• Select the specific beats per minute (BPM) using the "Tempo" parameter within the rig menu.
• Send MIDI Clock from another device.
When the tempo is engaged and active, the respective rate parameters of the modulation effects will show
you musical values instead of absolute time values.
Between each regular musical value you will find dotted and triplet values. The unnamed values in be-
tween will rarely make musical sense, but will allow you to dial through the rates in a fine resolution, even
when the tempo is engaged.
You will also find a soft button labelled "Tempo Enable" in the rig menu. Here, you can enable/disable the
tempo, as required. To really get the most out of TAP tempo, you can assign a foot switch to this param-
eter, and simply tap the beat with your foot while you play.

If a rig has a set tempo, all tempo related parameters are displayed in note values.
