17. TEMPO controls
TEMPO knob
Thisknobadjuststhetempoforthe
KRONOSasawhole,includingSongs,
KARMA,theDrumTrack,Tempo‐
syncedLFOsandBPMdelays,andEXi
StepSequencers.
TheLEDwillblinkatquarter‐note
intervalsofthecurrenttempo.
Note:IftheGLOBALMIDIpageMIDICLOCK

neithertheTEMPOKnobnortheTAPTEMPObutton
willhaveanyeffect.
TAP TEMPO button
Thisbuttonletsyouentertempossimplybytapping
yourfingeronthebutton.Youcanusethis
interchangeablywiththe“TEMPOknob,”above.Two
tapsareenoughtochangethetempo;forgreater
accuracy,youcancontinuetapping,andthetempowill
beaveragedoverthemostrecent16taps.
Forexample,yo
ucanuseTAPTEMPOtocontrolthe
KARMAtempo:
1. InProgrammodeorCombinationmode,start
KARMArunning.
TurnontheKARMAON/OFFswitch,andplayakey

willcontinueplayingevenafteryouliftupyourhands.
2. LightlypresstheTA
PTEMPOswitchseveral
timesatthedesiredtempo.

IfyoupresstheTAPTEMPOswitchatshorter
intervals,theplaybacktempowillbecome
correspondinglyfaster.
