Using the BPM/TAP button
55 Tap out the beat!
Change the bpm in real time! Tap the BPM/TAP button twice rhythmically, while the Pattern is run-
ning — and the bpm automatically changes to the tapped speed.
56 Start with a tap...
You can also get the Pattern going at whatever speed you like by simply tapping it out. Select a Pat-
tern, then instead of hitting one of the Pattern Player, tap the BPM/TAP button — four times, in
rhythm — and the Pattern starts automatically at the bpm you’ve tapped.
While you’re tapping, the display shows each of your four taps, then displays the resulting bpm.
◆
Tech note Only two taps are needed to start Pattern 42, since that Pattern is in 2/4 time.
