Tempo
A number of time parameters allow their timing to be determined by the tempo of the song you play.
These include Delay Time in the Tap Delay, as well as the Rate parameter of the Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo
and other modulation effects. There are multiple ways the tempo can be controlled, stored and retrieved.
There are four ways to set or change the tempo:
• Turn the "Tempo" knob within the RIG menu to set the desired beats per minute (BPM).
• Tap the desired tempo on the TAP button or switch.
• Use the Beat Scanner by holding the TAP button or switch.
• Send MIDI Clock from another device.

All factory rigs have Tempo disabled by default; this is because we cannot know in advance what tempo
you are going to need.
When Tempo is disabled, the Rate parameters of the respective modulation effects will show you the ab-
solute time values in Hertz or seconds.
Whenever you want the effects to sync to a specific tempo, activate Tempo by tapping the TAP button, or
by any of the above methods.
Once activated, the TAP button starts blinking and the "Tempo Enable" button in the RIG menu is high-
lighted. Now that the tempo is engaged and active, the respective Rate parameters of the modulation ef-
fects (Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo) will show you musical values instead of absolute time values.
✔ ✔
Between each regular musical value of the Modulation Rate parameters you will find dotted and triplet val-
ues. The unnamed values in between will rarely make musical sense, but will allow you to dial through the
rates in a fine resolution, even when the tempo is engaged.
If you want to disable Tempo, press the soft button labelled "Tempo Enable" in the RIG menu. The TAP
button will stop blinking and the Modulation Rate parameters will show absolute time values again.
The selected tempo and the "Tempo Enable" status are stored with the actual rig. In Performance mode,
you will find the soft button "Use Performance Tempo" on the Tempo page within the RIG menu. When
