ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Tempo Indication in LFO Sync mode

In LFO Sync mode the tempo is set either by turning the Engine A SPEED knob or by tapping the TAP TEMPO switch.

If you set the tempo using the Engine A SPEED knob the LED next to the SPEED knob will indicate the tempo.

If you tap the tempo using the TAP TEMPO switch, the TAP TEMPO LED will indicate the tempo.

Switching LFO Sync mode on and off

When switching LFO Sync mode off in Manual mode, the value of the Speed parameter in Engine B will change to the current position of Engine B’s SPEED knob. Engine A will retain the tap tempo speed.

When switching LFO Sync mode off in Preset mode, the Speed parameter values of both Engine A and Engine B will change to the values originally stored in the preset.

LFO Sync mode “Off”

When LFO Sync mode is “off” it is possible to select which effects Engine that is controlled using the TAP

TEMPO switch. This is great if you e.g. want to control the speed of a tremolo in Engine A, but not the speed of the chorus selected in Engine B.

Step by step example:

Object: TAP TEMPO controlling the speed of Engine B Turn the SPEED knob on Engine A and then tap the TAP TEMPO switch. You have now set the tempo of Engine A using the Engine A SPEED knob and the tempo of Engine B using the TAP TEMPO switch.

The Engine A Speed LED is showing the tempo (of Engine A).

The Tap Tempo LED is showing the tempo of Engine B.

The Engine B Speed LED is not lit.

Object: TAP TEMPO controlling the speed of Engine A

The Engine B Speed LED now indicates the tempo of Engine B according to the position of the SPEED knob.

The Engine A tempo (that was previously indicated by the Engine A Speed LED) is now shown in the Tap tempo LED.

The Engine A SPEED LED is not lit.
