THE BPM FX MODULE

OPERATING CRITERIA

This product has been designed to operate most effectively with dance music , i.e. music based on strong regular beats and patterns. However, as the range of pre-recorded dance material is virtually limitless (and the audio mix of individual tracks unknown) we cannot guarantee the performance of 1601E with every style of dance music.

1601E's synchronisation performance may be affected if the beat information is either unavailable or indefinable within the audio track. Please consider this when selecting your audio material.

TOP PANEL CONTROLS

1) BANK: (MODE)

This rotary switch selects the operating modes. In [A] mode only one effect at a time can be activated. In [B]~[F] modes the factory presets, which feature a wide spectrum of multiple effect combinations, can be accessed.

2) BEATS: (FX SPEED) 1/4 1/2 3/4 1/1 2/1

This rotary switch sets the effect speed. There are additional speed settings for FILTER/FLANGER/PANNER: 1 bar, 2 bar, 4 bar, 8 bar & 16 bar.

3) BEATS INDICATOR

The [BEATS] indicator lights when the BPM engine is locked on to the beat.
