4. Synchronizing to music

You can use the BPM setting or the playback from an external audio source to control the playback speed or the start timing of a video clip, or to control the current effect.

NOTE If you synchronize the clip start timing to the BPM, it may be delayed by several frames.

Setting the BPM

Setting the BPM manually

1Hold down the EDIT key and press the TAP/BPM key to select Manual mode.

2Rotate the VALUE knob to change the BPM value shown in the VALUE display. The deci- mal point in the display will blink.

3Press the YES/WRITE key or the TAP/TEMPO key to complete the setting. The decimal point will stop blinking, indicating the new tempo is set. If you want to cancel the setting, press the NO/ESC key.

NOTE You can't switch clips while setting the BPM.

The Tap Tempo function

If you don’t know the BPM value, press the TAP/BPM key three or more times in rhythm with the song; the BPM of the song will be detected and shown in the display, and will be assigned as the current BPM setting.

Auto BPM setting

1If you have a music source hooked up to the AUDIO TRIG INPUT jacks, hold down the TAP/BPM key for three seconds or longer, and the kaptivator will automatically detect the BPM of the song. You may have to adjust the TRIG LEVEL knob to get the best results. While the BPM is being detected, the decimal point will blink and the TAP/BPM key will flash orange.

NOTE The BPM cannot be detected if the music does not have a clear sense of beat.

2Press the YES/WRITE key to confirm the setting. The decimal point will stop blinking and the TAP/TEMPO key will once again flash red on each beat, and green at the start of the measure. If no tempo is detected, the kaptivator will continue to use the previous BPM setting. If you decide to cancel, press the NO/ESC key.

NOTE You can’t switch clips while making the Auto BPM setting.
