Select the audio frequency of the dominant beat in the music. Try a low frequency to pick up
a bass guitar or set it higher to select a drum or cymbal.
Note: When you select a different frequency, the audio level of that frequency might be
different from the previous frequency. You might need to repeat the “level” and
“frequency” adjustments to get satisfactory stepping of your chaser.
When finished press;
[edit].
To step a chaser with the STL you have created, the chase must be connected to the STL as
described above.
16.5 SYNCOBEAT MODE
SyncoBEAT allows you to teach the DOMINO a beat pattern that it will then repeat
indefinitely. When a chaser is connected to an STL that is in SyncoBEAT mode, the chasers
own internal speed generator is disconnected and the STL’s SyncoBEAT has total control of
stepping.
SyncoBEAT allows for a syncopated (non regular) pattern to be learned. You tap out a beat
pattern and the DOMINO learns the pattern then repeats it indefinitely. A syncopated pattern
allows you to have, for example some rapid steps followed by maybe a long pause and then
steps getting faster or possibly slowing down.
Any quantity from 1 to 20 beats can be entered in the beat pattern.
To create a SyncoBEAT;
HOLD [function], tap [f/a] (stl 1) or (stl 2).
The display scrolls a message showing the current mode of the STL.
Tapping [yes], toggles the STL between either Sound To Light mode or SyncoBEAT mode.
Turn SyncoBEAT ON.
The current mode of each STL is shown at the bottom of the video screen. The letter “B”
indicates SyncoBEAT mode.
To learn a beat pattern;
HOLD [add] until the word “Learn” appears on the display.
Whilst holding [add], enter your beat pattern by tapping [ok].
The beat pattern starts from the first tap of the [ok] button and ends when the [add] button is
released. Remember that when the DOMINO repeats your beat pattern, the time between
the last tap and the first tap is determined by the time between your last tap and when your
release the [add] button.
The “stepping beat indicator” on the video screen now moves to the beat that you have
created.
If the beat pattern is not correct, create a new SyncoBEAT pattern by holding [add] and
repeating the procedure. The new pattern will replace the old pattern as soon as the [add]
button is released.
When the beat pattern is correct press;
[edit] to exit.
To step a chaser with the SyncoBEAT you have created, the chaser must be connected to
the STL as described above.
If a chaser has been set to “Single Shot Mode”, triggering the single shot will run the chaser
once using the SyncoBEAT stepping.
See the “CHASERS” section for more details on chases.
