T11 I hit the Sync Lock button, but the flashing red beat LED doesn't
seem to follow the beat.
This means you hit the Sync Lock button before the red beat LED actually started
tracking the tempo. You can easily fix this by tapping the Beat Assist buttons as
many times as necessary to resync to the beat of the music.
T12 The beat tracking suddenly gets off track.
This may happen if the music has several beats missing, or the rhythm suddenly
becomes extremely complex or variable. You can either resync the beat using the
Beat Assist button or wait a few seconds for the Beatkeeper™ to automatically
recover.
T13 The Beatkeeper™ seems to track the music for a little bit right
after using the Beat Assist, and then drifts off.
This could be one of two things:
a) The Beatkeeper™ is averaging the time between each of your Beat Assist
button taps. If the first tap is way off, the tempo will be way off.
b) The Beatkeeper™ was synced during a section of the music without a well
defined beat.
In either case, the problem can be overcome by waiting a few seconds before
preceding to tap the Beat Assist button two or more times with the beat of the
music.
T14 Either the BPM number or red beat LED doesn't track the music
fast enough while using the pitch bend on my CD player (or
speed control on my record player).
You may have exceeded the tracking capability of the Beatkeeper™. The
Beatkeeper™ can normally handle speed changes of +/- 5% per beat if the music's
rhythm is steady. If the rhythm is complex (or some of the beats are missing) the
Beatkeeper™ will require more gradual changes to track properly.
* You can also manually resync the beat using the Beat Assist button.
T15 Neither the Tempo Difference graph or the Beat Offset graph
seem to work.
The bar graphs are only operational when both Sync Lock LEDs are illuminated.
This ensures that you don't inadvertently try to mix two songs without their tempos
being synced.
To make the bar graphs operational, either:
a) Wait for the red beat LED’s to follow the music and tap the respective Sync Lock
button
or b) Tap the Beat Assist button twice with the beat of the music.
Either method will cause the Sync Lock LED to illuminate.
