PATTERNS
TEMPO
Here the general BPM of the patterns are set. The TEMPO screen is opened by pressing
the [TEMPO] key.
Now you can use the LEVEL encoder to change the current tempo in integer steps. The
[UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys change the decimal part of the tempo.
TAP TEMPO
To tap a tempo, hold the [FUNCTION] key and tap the [TEMPO] key at a steady rhythm.
After four consecutive taps the average tempo of the taps will be set as the new tempo and
it will be showed in the TAP TEMPO window. You can continue tapping the [TEMPO] key,
the tapped tempo average will then continue updating.
TEMPO NUDGE
You can temporarily shift the tempo up or down by 10% by pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT]
arrow keys. When the key is released the BPM will revert back to the original setting. This
functionality is very handy when manually syncing your Octatrack to a turntable or an exter-
nal sound source. Note that you do not need to be in the TEMPO menu to perform this
tempo shift.
