57 Pro 2 Operation Manual Sequencer
Depending upon the BPM and Clock Divide settings, the slew rate can actually
exceed the time the envelopes are gated on, causing a step in the affected sequence
to not reach its set value. For example, if Slew is applied to note values or oscillator
frequency, high Slew values may cause a step to sound flat or sharp. If that’s not what
you want, simply reduce the Slew value.
BPM: 30…250— Sets the tempo for the sequencer and arpeggiator in
BPM (beats per minute). The
tap tempo
LED flashes at the BPM rate.
When Sync is turned on for an LFO or Delay, the BPM rate affects its
LFO frequency or delay time. When syncing to an external MIDI clock
source, the BPM setting has no effect.
Tap Tempo:30…250— Tap this button two or more times to quickly set
the tempo for the sequencer and arpeggiator. The LED flashes at the
BPM rate you set. For best results, tap the button 4 times.
Clock Divide: Sets the note value for each arpeggiator step relative to
the BPM. Clock divide works with both internal and external clock
sources. The following table lists the clock divide values.
Display Tempo Timing Division
1/2 BPM/2 Half note
1/4 BPM Quarter note
1/8 BPM x 2 Eighth note
1/8 Half Swing BPM x 2 Eighth note, half swing timing
1/8 Full Swing BPM x 2 Eighth note, full swing timing
1/8 Triplet BPM x 3 Eighth note triplets
1/16 BPM x 4 Sixteenth note
1/16 Half Swing BPM x 4 Sixteenth note, half swing timing
1/16 Full Swing BPM x 4 Sixteenth note, full swing timing
1/16 Triplet

1/32 BPM x 8 Thirty-second note
BPM: 30…250— Sets the tempo for the arpeggiator in BPM (beats per
minute). Tap Tempo flashes on the beat. Also affects the LFO frequency
