Sync Settings
The following parameters may turn out to be very use-
ful indeed. As you know, all VariPhrases (ROM and
User) are automatically synchronized to the Arranger/
Song Composer tempo. At extremely high or low val-
ues, however, the phrases may still be OK for “special
effects” but probably no longer for serious musical
applications. That is why you can set two tempo limits
for automatic changes below or above the specified
tempo value:
Double Speed On (BPM Lower Than)
Use this parameter for specifying whether ([ON] or
[OFF]) the VariPhrase tempo should be doubled once
the tempo is lower than the value you specify here, and
if so, what should be the lower tempo limit. The
default value is “75”. So every time you select a lower
tempo value, the current VariPhrase will be played at
twice its original speed – provided the [ON/OFF] field
next to it reads [ON].
Here’s how to set the tempo value:
• Press the [Double Speed On…] field.
• Use the [i][m] to set the desired lower tempo limit.
Press the [Default] field to return to the factory setting
(75).
• Press the [ON/OFF] field next to [Double Speed
On…] to make it read [ON]. The tempo doubling
function is now active.
Half Speed On (BPM Higher Than)
This parameter is the upper tempo limit. Whenever
you set a higher tempo than the value specified for this
parameter, the current VariPhrase will be played back
at half its original speed (tempo). See above for how to
set this parameter.
Sync Adjust
Here’s a parameter that allows you to use VariPhrases
in 4/4 time for Music Styles in 6/8. When the [ON/
OFF] field reads [ON], the VA-76 will see to it that
phrases in 4/4 time also “work” with Music Styles in
3/4 or 6/8. Note that VariPhrases designed for Music
Styles in 6/8 or 3/4 time may not work with Music
Styles in 4/4. In some cases, however, switching off
Sync Adjust might just do the trick.
