There are four ways to determine the Leading Tempo, which synchronize the (6) Variable Clock Outputs of the TEMPI:
1. With nothing patched to the Leading Tempo Input, the last-Stored Tempo is used (refer to Bank Edit Page’s Store
Function, described on page 24).
2. When an External Clock is patched to the Leading Tempo Input, the External Clock source is followed after 2 pulses.
3. When an internally-connected bus line is used via the Tempo Bus, the generated Clock signal is Followed (refer to
Bank Edit Page’s Follow Setting, described on page 26).
4. New to v31 rmware: if Tap Tempo is enabled on the Clock Edit Page, tap Button-1 to set the Leading Tempo.
Human Programming
Human Clock Programming combines Multiplier/Divisor and Phase Settings
into one simple, tactile process.
For Human Programming, patch the Leading Tempo (i.e. MULT of the clock
patched to Tempo Input or any Channel set to 1:1 using Machine Multiplier or
Divisor) so that the timing is audible. Next, Program a Variable Clock by
tapping Buttons1-6 to aect the associated Channel Output(s) in order to
complement the Leading Tempo, resulting in either a Multiple or Division of
the Leading Tempo.
Notice, the User must tap each Channel Button at least twice in order to
Program a timing value. Changes happen as soon as algorithmically possible.
Previous values for a given Channel are overwritten as soon as a Channel
Button is tapped the second time.
While Human Programming, State changes are ignored. It is also possible to
Program several Channels at once. This makes it more intuitive to create
interesting timing arrangements.
IMPORTANT: these changes are not saved until you Store the State. Without
running the Store function (Page 24), changes are not held when the power is
cycled. This makes it easy to improvise with alternate versions of a Stored
theme.
Programming Variable Clocks:
RESOLUTION
Human Resolution 100%
Results in the strictest relationships. This
is the same as Machine Programming
Coarse Multipler/Divisor and Phase
adjustments (see "Machine" section).
Human Resolution 25%
Establishes in the most free
relationships and in theory is the
equivalent as Machine Programming
Fine Multiplier/Divisor and Phase
adjustments.
Human Resolution 50%
The Default setting, allowing for
something less strict than 100%,
but easier to use than 25%.

For HUMAN Programming:
Human Programming has three levels of Resolution determined by the Program Edit Page (to access, Press PGM_B twice).
The Resolution of Human Programming determines how the Variable Clocks are related to the Leading Tempo’s Phase
and Multiplier/Divisor. The Resolution setting is then indicated by which Channel Button1-3 LED is lit:
