The [EFFECT SYNC] LED lights up and the effect parameter is set
automatically as to synchronize to effect BPM.
To turn the effect sync off, press the [EFFECT SYNC] key once more.
Which effect parameter is synchronized to BPM depends on the
effect. For some effects, there is no parameter that will be
synchronized (
➔
p. 46).
If an effect type which cannot be synchronized to BPM is selected,
the indication "no SYnC" is shown on the display.
While the [EFFECT SYNC] key is held down, the effect BPM is shown
on the display. Each push of a key changes the setting by one
increment.
The interval of the last 4 taps is automatically detected by the ST-224
and converted to a BPM value.

Using the Internal Effects
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
sequencer. Effect BPM is the same tempo as the current Song unless you change it.
