Red Sound SoundBITE Manual For Use page 9

analyses more complex rhythm tracks. Tapping along with the tempo of the track can help the software recognise
patterns within the music and so lock-in and adjust the BPM and/or synchronisation itself.
NOTE: Subsequent valid beat information detected by the BPM engine will override manual changes made with the
TAP function.
CLEAR BPM: The current BPM value can be cleared (erased) at any time to allow for tempo re-calculation. This
feature can be useful if the audio playback tempo changes (major pitch adjustments/new track starting) or if any
unusual beat information confuses the BPM engine.
'IDLE' status, press and
replace the BPM reading in the main display.
The BPM engine will now re-calculate the tempo however, if no new tempo is detected, the recorded loops can still
be played back at the last detected BPM rate e.g. the last BPM value is memorised after clearing the BPM value or
erasing all loops.
MANUALLY SETTING A BPM VALUE
You can manually set a BPM value when there is no beat information available for the BPM engine or when
[DISENGAGE ENGINE] is selected. To set a BPM value manually, first ensure the BPM engine is 'idle' (four centre
bars on display) or disengaged (BPM value flashing). Press and hold down the [RE-SAMPLE] button, then (after a
one second protection period) move the [EDIT] jog dial clockwise to increment or anti clockwise to decrement the
BPM value [default setting is 100BPM from an idle condition], as shown in the following example:
