1 Press [AUTO/TAP] button.

Select the BPM measurement mode.

[AUTO]: The BPM is measured automatically from the audio sig- nal that is being input. The [AUTO] mode is set when this unit’s power is turned on.

[TAP]: The BPM is input manually by tapping the [TAP] button with a finger.

!The [AUTO] BPM measurement range is BPM = 70 to 180. With some tracks it may not be possible to measure the BPM correctly. If the BPM cannot be measured, the BPM value on the display flashes. In such cases, use the [TAP] button to input the BPM manually.

2 Press one of the [CH SELECT] buttons.

This selects the channel to which the effect is applied.

[1] – [4]: The effect is applied to the sound of the respective channel.

[MIC]: The effect is applied to the sound of [MIC] channel.

[A], [B]: The effect is applied to the sound of the crossfader’s [A] (left) or [B] (right) side.

[M]: The effect is applied to the sound of the [MASTER] channel.

3 Press one of the [EFFECT SELECT] buttons.

This selects the type of effect.

!For the types of effects, see Types of BEAT EFFECT on page 25.

!To use [SEND/RETURN], see Using the external effector below.

4 Press one of the beat buttons.

Set the beat fraction for synchronizing the effect sound.

The effect time corresponding to the beat fraction is set automatically.

!The beat fraction can be changed by turning [TIME] while pressing the beat button.

5 Press the [ON/ OFF] button.

The effect is applied to the sound.

The effect’s time parameter can be adjusted by turning the [TIME] control.

The average value of the interval at which the [TAP] button was tapped by finger is set as the BPM.

!When the BPM is set using the [TAP] button, the beat fraction is set to [1/1] and the time of one beat (quarter note) is set as the effect time.

!The BPM can be set manually by turning the [TIME] control while pressing the [TAP] button.

!The BPM can be set manually by pressing the beat button while pressing [TAP].
