Started
	The unit comes with an effector which is linked to the number of beats which has been set in synchronization
	with the number of beats per minute (BPM) of the musical composition. It also has an effect send
Connections	configuration which makes it possible to send the signals from multiple input channels simultaneously to
	the effectors, enabling a wide range of acoustic effects.

*In order to achieve normal effects, set the BPM value that matches the number of beats of the musical compositions.

BeatBreaker Function

What the BeatBreaker effector does

This effector breaks down the music signals in each bar obtained from the BPM value a quarter beat at a time into 16 sections, replaces these sections with a preset beat pattern, and then plays them back to achieve an effect where the beat of the original musical composition is changed.

Details of operation

The beat patterns consist of 16 blocks, and when these blocks are lighted, the sound is being replaced by the initial sound of the beat.

When this effect is ON, the left block and beat display are used, and the block being played is indicated.

Example:

q Pattern

w SnareKick

e SnareKick

In the case of pattern q shown in the figure, when the music signals w are input, the sound of signals e, which are produced by replacing the sound of the first quarter beat with the lighted section, are output.

Operation method

Using the Effect ON/OFF buttons, the effect with the timing when the buttons were set to ON at the beginning is added.

The beat pattern is selected using the BEAT , buttons. In the Utility mode, five user presets can be created.
