MR-8 Owner’s Manual

Settingthebeatresolution

As described earlier, while the time base is set to "Bar/Beat", setting "Beat resolution" in the menu to "On" allows you to store the LOCATE A or B point in beat resolution.

When "Beat resolution" is set to "On", the clock digit of the Bar/Beat/Clock value is automati- cally rounded down or up, so that the clock digit is always "00".

For example, while the time base is set to "Bar/ Beat" and the "Beat resolution" is set to "On", if you set the LOCATE A point to "1 bar/1 / 46 clk" and the LOCATE B point to "2 bar/4

/51 clk", the rounded values are stored as below.

"1 bar / 1 / 46 clk" -> "1 bar / 1 / 00 clk"

(The clock value "46" is rounded down.)

"2 bar / 4 / 51 clk" -> "3 bar / 1 / 00 clk"

(The clock value "51" is rounded up.)
