Some knobs have an alternate function if used in combination - that is, turning while holding down- with the REC or PLAY button.
BPM : This control sets the tempo of the beats. It is inactive when the pedal is synchronized to other devices with the MIDI/Sync connection.
LEVEL : Volume of the beats.
MOD : Modification of the sounds. Determines the intensity with which the sound selected in SAMPLE will sound or be recorded. In combination with the REC button, it controls the pitch of the sound. In combination with the PLAY button, it controls the aliasing effect – digital degradation due to reduction of the sampling frequency.
BEAT/BANK : Selects beat 1, 2, 3, or 4. The selected beat can be modified, sounds can be added or removed, or simply played. In combination with the REC button, selects the beat bank, A, B, C, or D.
SAMPLE : Selects the sound sample to record and/or trigger. In combination with the REC button, modifies the time signature of the selected beat (Default: 4/4)
PLAY : Play or stop the selected beat.
TAP : Triggers the selected sound. If held down, the sound will be repeated in quarter notes. If REC mode is active, the taps will be recorded in the current beat. In combination with the REC button, the selected sound is erased from the beat.
In LIVE mode, it allows movement to the next/previous beat.
TAP TEMPO: In combination with the PLAY button, tap tempo is made by tapping 3 quarter notes on the TAP button.
REC : Enables recording of sounds on the selected beat. The RED LED indicates when REC mode is active. In combination with the PLAY button, saves the current beats and their modifications to permanent memory.
CONNECTIONS
OUTPUT : Pedal output, can be connected to a guitar/bass amplifier or directly to a console line.
INPUT : Input for guitar or other instrument. Whatever is connected here will go directly to the output mixed with the sound of the beats.
MIDI/SYNC : This TRS connector serves as a MIDI input or clock input for sync. The BEAT automatically detects a connection and disables the internal tempo. See the manual for how to configure the pedal according to the connection type (Default: MIDI).
