Adding an Effect Synchronized to
the Performance Tempo
When any effect other than HARMONIST is selected, you
can set the tempo so you get an effect that is synchronized to
the performance tempo.
* The allowable rate cycles for the tempo settings range from 62
ms to 2000 ms.
1. Hold down the MOD pedal for at least two seconds.
• If the MOD pedal is pressed when the effect is on, the
pedal indicator goes out, and the effect is turned off.
• If the MOD pedal is pressed when the effect is off, the
pedal indicator turns red, and the effect is turned on.
When you continue to depress the pedal, after two
seconds the pedal’s indicator starts to flash, and the
tempo can then be set with the effect on.
Here, the tempo is indicated by the value set with the
RATE/KEY knob.
2. Press the MOD pedal in timing with the tempo more
than two times.
The tempo is set according to the time interval between
each press of the pedal. The pedal indicator flashes in
time with the tempo.
Setting the RATE near the desired tempo beforehand
allows you to make faster and more natural tempo
settings.
3. Hold down the MOD pedal for at least two seconds to
complete the tempo setting.
The effect goes on, and instead of flashing, the pedal
indicator will light.
* If you move the RATE/KEY knob after finishing this setting,
the rate corresponding to the knob position takes effect.
