MR-8 Owner’s Manual
Setting the beat resolution
As described earlier, while the time base is set to "Bar/Beat", setting "Beat resolution" in the
menu to "On" allows you to store the LOCATE A or B point in beat resolution.
When "Beat resolution" is set to "On", the clock digit of the Bar/Beat/Clock value is automati-
cally rounded down or up, so that the clock digit is always "00".
For example, while the time base is set to "Bar/
Beat" and the "Beat resolution" is set to "On",
if you set the LOCATE A point to "1 bar/1
/
46 clk" and the LOCATE B point to "2 bar/4
/51 clk", the rounded values are stored as
below.
"1 bar / 1
/ 46 clk" -> "1 bar / 1 / 00 clk"
(The clock value "46" is rounded down.)
"2 bar / 4 / 51 clk" -> "3 bar / 1 / 00 clk"
(The clock value "51" is rounded up.)
