Synchronizing Effect Parameter BPM

The ST-224 incorporates a special BPM function for effects (called "effect BPM") which allows synchronizing a selected effect parameter to this tempo. For example, this lets you easily match the delay time or modulation cycle to the tempo of a song.

Effect BPM can be set separately from pad BPM and the tempo of the internal HINT sequencer. Effect BPM is the same tempo as the current Song unless you change it.

STEP 1 Press the [EFFECT SYNC] key.

The [EFFECT SYNC] LED lights up and the effect parameter is set

EFFECT SYNC

automatically as to synchronize to effect BPM.

 

To turn the effect sync off, press the [EFFECT SYNC] key once more.

 

NOTE

Which effect parameter is synchronized to BPM depends on the

 

effect. For some effects, there is no parameter that will be

 

synchronized ( ➔ p. 46).

BPM/VALUE

If an effect type which cannot be synchronized to BPM is selected,

the indication "no SYnC" is shown on the display.

STEP 2

To input the effect BPM value manually, hold the [EFFECT SYNC] key down and use the

[-] [+] keys to change the value.

 

 

 

 

 

While the [EFFECT SYNC] key is held down, the effect BPM is shown
