Tap Tempo

In Play Mode, the Tap Footswitch can be tapped to set the tempo. While tapping, the
Billboard displays the updated Tempo.
Note: When using an Aux Switch to tap tempo, the Billboard will display the tempo value in
both Play and Bank Modes.
Adjusting Tempo & Tweaking Delays
The Encoder can be used to set or tweak the Tempo value in BPM if Tempo is ON. To use the
Encoder, first press the Tap Footswitch (you must be in Play Mode) so that the Billboard
displays the Tempo value in BPM. Whenever the Tap value is displayed, the Encoder can be
turned to adjust the Tempo. While adjusting, the Billboard displays the updated Tempo and
the parameter Control Knobs are disabled.
With Tempo OFF, the Encoder can be used to tweak delay time. To use the Encoder, first turn
the Control Knob corresponding to the delay that you want to tweak; either Dly Time A or Dly
Time B. Next, press the Tap Footswitch (TimeFactor must be in Play Mode) so that the
Billboard displays the Delay Time value. Now turn the Encoder to adjust Delay Time. While
adjusting, the Billboard displays the updated Delay Time and the parameter Control Knobs are
disabled.

Global - Tempo

Tempo values are always saved with each Preset. Often however, it's useful to set the Tempo
values for all of the Presets that you're using. To do this, use the TEMPO function under the
System GLOBAL command. When TEMPO is ON, the Tempo values saved with the Preset are
ignored and the current Tempo value is used for all Presets.
