THE FX DISPLAY WINDOW AND FOCUS CONTROLS

The effects display screen is divided vertically into four segments numbered 1- 4, which represent the
four Channel FX units. The highlighted section shows which channel is in Focus.
The illustration below shows the display for channel 1, 2 - 4 follow the same layout.

*

This section of the screen can display the following symbols:

T for tapped tempo

L for Loop Active

Padlock to show BPM Locked

FX ADJ/TOGGLE VIEW
Adjusts the second effects parameter (e.g. the filter of a Delay).
Pressing this encoder will toggle the view between BPM or the second pa-
rameter of the currently focused effect.

FX TIME/TAP
This encoder sets the beat fraction for each effect. Rotating anticlockwise will decrease the time, and
rotating clockwise will increase it. The time defaults to fractions of the detected BPM, but for delays this
can be switched to absolute time in milliseconds, see Page 23.
Pressing and holding this control for approximately ¼ second will lock or unlock the BPM at the
currently detected setting.
Pressing and holding this control for a further second will reset the BPM detection engine for fresh
analyses.
You can also tap in a tempo using this control. You need to tap a minimum of six times before it will be
registered.

This is the toggled view of the
Delay effect “Fat-Q”.
It represents a frequency
graph, with the low
frequencies on the left, high
on the right. The shaded area
is the frequency response of
the output filter of the delay.
Rotating the FX ADJ control
will move the centre
frequency of this filter, and
the shaded area will move left
or right.
