Tempo ON/OFF
Tempo is turned ON or OFF by momentarily pressing the Encoder. When Tempo is ON, the
Tempo LED flashes at the Tempo rate. With Tempo OFF, the Tempo LED is OFF.
Tap Tempo
In Play Mode, the Tap Footswitch can be tapped to set the tempo. While tapping, the
Billboard displays the updated Tempo.
Note: When using an Aux Switch to tap tempo, the Billboard will display the tempo value in
both Play and Bank Modes.
Global Tempo
Tempo is always saved with each Preset. Often however, it can be useful to make the tempo
uniform for all of the Presets that you’re using. To do this, use the System GLOBAL Tempo
command. When GLOBAL TEMPO is ON, the Tempo value saved with the Preset is ignored
and the current Tempo value is used for all Presets.

Fine-tuning Tempo and Delays
Tempo
The Encoder can be used to set or tweak the Tempo value in BPM. With Tempo ON, first press
the Tap Footswitch once (you must be in Play Mode) so that the Billboard displays the Tempo
value. With the Tempo value displayed, the Encoder can be turned to adjust the Tempo.
While adjusting, the Billboard displays the updated Tempo and the parameter Control Knobs
are disabled.
Delay
With Tempo OFF, the Encoder can be used to tweak the delay time for effects that use delay.
To use the Encoder, first turn the Control Knob corresponding to the delay that you want to
tweak (A or B) so that the delay time is displayed by the Billboard. While the delay time is still
displayed, turn the Encoder to adjust the delay time. While tweaking, the Billboard displays
the updated delay time and the parameter Control Knobs are disabled.
