- TAP DIVIDE BUTTON AND LEDS -
The TAP DIV function sub-divides the tempo tapped in via the TAP/LOOP
footswitch to create shorter or longer delay times in sync with your tap
time. It assumes that what is tapped is a quarter note. TAP DIV then
divides the quarter note to produce delay times rhythmically in time with
the tap tempo.
The current DELAY knob setting can also be divided by the TAP DIV
button. When you turn the DELAY knob, the range is always based on a
quarter note length. After you set the DELAY knob, pressing the TAP DIV
button selects the divide ratio of the delay time for each TAP DIV setting.
The TAP DIV button cycles through the nine available Tap Divide settings.
There are three main divisions: quarter note - , eighth note - , and
sixteenth note - . Each division can be further broken down into its triplet
and dotted versions. The TAP DIV LEDs will light to show the current tap
divide setting, and once set will blink at the current delay time.
The following table provides an example of how each Tap Divide changes
your delay time whether the delay time is set by the TAP/LOOP footswitch
or DELAY knob. The tapped time in this example is 600ms.
