Using the AUTO BPM

function

2Select a beat pattern.

(See “To change the beat pattern” on

page 30.)

The button’s indicator blinks orange

while measuring the source’s BPM. Once

measured, the indicator lights green.

5Listen 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.

Using the BEAT JAM

function

This function automatically synchronizes the

sounds of PAD A and B with the sound

source.

1Start playing a source.

2Press BEAT JAM repeatedly to

select the jam mode you desire.

The button’s indicator lights up. Every

time you press the button, the display

changes as follows:

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.
