4. If desired, turn EDIT knob 3 to further adjust tempo

5. Press the Tap/Cancel button to exit this mode.
Audio tap is a must for live performances. It offers a
simple method of setting delay times and modulation
rates to match the music.
GLOBAL TEMPO
The Tap/Cancel button LED will flash when a tempo-
controlled program is loaded. Most factory presets are
stored with individual tempo rates, which can be
customized to suit personal taste. Tap in the new tempo,
then store the modified version of the program in the
User Bank.
To recall the tempo rate stored with each program, set
the System Mode parameter Tempo Mode (see page 3-5)
to Program. The unit will apply the individual tempo
setting of each program as it is loaded. To apply the
current tempo rate to all programs, set the System Mode
parameter Tempo Mode to Global. The unit will ignore
individual tempo settings and apply the current tempo
setting to each program as it is loaded.
BYPASS
The Bypass button can be used to force the unit
to pass only dry audio, to mute the outputs
immediately, or to mute the inputs to the
loaded program. Its function depends on the setting of
the System Mode parameter Bypass Mode (see page 3-5).
When Bypass Mode is set to Dry, the unit sends only dry,
unprocessed audio to the outputs. When set to Full
Mute, the unit mutes the outputs. When set to Input
Mute, the unit mutes the inputs only. Running effects
will continue their natural decay.
Bypass functions can also be activated with a footswitch
(see page 1-10) or MIDI control device (see page 6-4).
