PAD MODE

This mode emphasizes the rhythm of the source by playing the sound stored at PAD A in sync with the bass and playing the sound stored at PAD B in sync with the treble.

RANDOM MODE

This mode emphasizes the rhythm of the source by playing random sounds (from the drum pad library) in sync with source.

Note

BEAT JAM cannot be used at the same time as the BEAT (BEAT ON) function. When BEAT JAM is turned ON, BEAT turns OFF automatically. Likewise, when the BEAT is turned ON, BEAT JAM turns OFF automatically.

Using the AUTO BPM function

This function automatically synchronizes the rhythm of the current beat pattern with the sound source.

The button’s indicator blinks orange while measuring the source’s BPM. Once measured, the indicator lights green.

5 Listen to the sound source and press BEAT ON/OFF at the downbeat.

The rhythm of the beat pattern starts in sync with the source.

Tip

If the downbeat of the rhythm does not match the source, press BEAT ON/OFF to turn the beat off. Then, in time with the source, press BEAT ON/OFF again to restart the beat.

Notes

AUTO BPM may not work with certain songs (such as those with varying tempos). In such cases, the AUTO BPM indicator continues blinking orange and “AUTO BPM NG” appears in the display.

The amount of time required to measure a song’s BPM (after pressing AUTO BPM) varies for each song.

AUTO BPM stops automatically when it encounters a blank of (or greater than) 1.5 seconds. It will, however, resume automatically when the music begins again.

AUTO BPM stops automatically when you turn the jog dial while holding BEAT SPEED.
