Setting BAR/BEAT resolution mode (“Resolu ?” menu)
The “Setting BAR/BEAT resolution mode” menu enables you to turn BAR/BEAT resolution mode on and off.
The initial setting is “off.” When you turn this mode on, the CLK (clock) digits will be always round off to 00 and
be stored in the memory key while the FD-8 is using the BAR/BEAT/CLK Time Base. That is, beat resolution is
used. Using this function allows you to automatically store a beat-resolution value of the CLIPBOARD IN/OUT
points and other points in real-time. (Press the STORE key, then the corresponding memory key while playing the
FD-8.) Therefore, it is very convenient when you perform the Copy & Past or Move & Paste operation in beat-
resolution.
For example, assume that you have stored the value for 001BAR1
46 CLK as the CLIPBOARD IN point, and the
value for 002BAR 4
51 CLK as the CLIPBOARD OUT point.
These values will be used as they are if BAR/BEAT resolution mode is turned off. However, the mode is turned on, the
following values will be stored instead. The following example has a time signature setting of 4/4.
001BAR1
46 CLK -> 001BAR1 00 CLK (A CLK value of 46 will be rounded off.)
002BAR4
51 CLK -> 003BAR1 00 CLK (A CLK value of 51 will be rounded up.)
• Initial setting: [o FF]
• Options: [on] or [o FF]
* This setting is shared by all Programs in the same disk.
* The settings cannot be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.
Setting BAR/BEAT resolution mode
1. While the FD-8 is stopped, press the SETUP key to
enter SETUP mode.
2. Turn the JOG dial to select [ Resolu ?] ([?]
flashes), then press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The current BAR/BEAT resolution mode setting appears
on the display.
Pressing the EXECUTE/YES key turns off the flashing [?]
character, and the BAR/BEAT resolution mode setting
flashes. With the initial setting, [o FF] flashes as shown
below.
3. Use the JOG dial to turn the mode [on] or [off].
When you turn the JOG dial clockwise and counter-
clockwise, [on] and [o FF] flash alternately.
Selecting [on] turns BAR/BEAT resolution mode on, and
selecting [o FF] turns BAR/BEAT resolution mode off.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The selected mode setting is stored, and [?] flashes.
To cancel the operation, or to restore the setting
obtained prior to the EXECUTE/YES key press, press
the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key. Each time you
press one of these keys, the FD-8 returns to the previous
hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP
mode and displays the previous Time Base.
