Synced Delay repeats

Keep the arpeggio running and we’ll add more things.

1 Turn both Delay knobs (Tempo & Dry/Wet) fully counterclockwise,

press Feedback to light up the “1” LED.

2 Turn on the Delay, hold Shift and press the Delay Tap Tempo but-

ton to enable the Master Clock for the delay.

3 Turn the Delay tempo knob to select the Master Clock “8d” divi-

sion and turn up the Dry/Wet mix until you hear the delay repeats.

The arpeggio will play quarter notes, and the delay repeats will be dot-

ted eight notes (the ﬁrst repeat will “move” the following repeats by half

an 1/8 note).

Sync the LFO

4 Let’s add a synchronized LFO sweep. Enable the LFO Master

Clock sync by holding Shift and turning the LFO Rate/Time knob.

5 Select the Triangle waveform.

6 Have the LFO modulate the ﬁlter by turning up the Filter LFO Mod

Amount knob a bit

7 Turn the LFO rate to select “2b” (2 bars) and turn up the Filter

LFO Amount knob a bit close to the 12 o’clock position. If the

LFO Amount doesn’t seem to do anything, try closing the Filter

Frequency a bit.

There are now quarter notes playing from the arpeggiator, with delay

repeats that are synced to dotted 8 notes, and the LFO that opens up

the ﬁlter once every 2 bars.

8 Hold the Mst Clk button and turn the Program Dial. The tempo

changes and the three rhythmic things we have running in this

example all change simultaneously to reﬂect the new tempo.

M A tempo setting will be stored in a performance.

Across the Slots

There is one Master Clock tempo for each performance. All Slots can

be in perfect sync with each other.

Sound Menu Kbd Sync

The Sound Menu setting “Mst Clk Kbd Sync” determines if the Master

Clock should be reset when you press a key. This type of reset can

have a hard or a soft behavior, the softer would allow for note changes

slightly ahead of the beat. The Kbd Sync feature can also be turned off,

letting the Master Clock run free.
