Tempo

0.0 Rate

This is the current tempo (in Beats Per Minute). When 0.2 is set to Internal, turning ADJUST allows you to select a different rate (40-400 BPM). The Tempo LED will flash at the new rate. Note that fractional tempos can be tapped in, but are not available via ADJUST. The display will always show the nearest whole number value.

0.1 BeatValue

Tempo is expressed in BPM. This control allows you to specify the value of the beat. Eighth, dotted-eighth, quarter, dotted-quarter, half, dotted-half, and whole- note values are available. If, for example, the rate is 120 BPM, and you select eighth-note here, the tempo will be 120 eighth-notes per minute. If you select quarter-note here, the tempo will be 120 quarter-notes per minute. (The factory default is quarter-note.)

0.2 Source

You can choose to have tempo determined by the PCM 80 Tap and Rate controls (Internal), or by MIDI Clock. When MIDI Clock is selected as the tempo source, Tap acts as a reset, setting the downbeat of the LFO and the time-based switches.
