Using the Ampliton

What is Tempo Sync?

Tremolo and Autopan are both rhythmic effects—they have a

beat. Sometimes, you’ll want the rate of the effect to match the

beat of your music instead of being random. For example, you can

set the rate so that the Autopan effect pans from side to side once

per measure, or once per quarter note. The TEMPO SYNC

feature of the Alesis ModFX series not only lets you set a tempo

naturally by tapping on the TAP TEMPO button, it can

automatically adjust its speed slightly relative to a “tapped” audio

input, after setting the basic speed using the TAP button.

To use Tempo Sync:

Both the tremolo and the autopan can be independently set to

TEMPO SYNC mode, as follows:

1. Press the down side of the rocker switch for the tremolo or

autopan to select the next modulation type.

You can see the type of effect by the LED lit next to the name—for

example, TRIANGLE, SQUARE, TRIGGERED and so on.

2. Keep pressing the rocker switch through all the normal modes

until you enter TEMPO SYNC mode, and then advance to the

type of modulation you want.

Both the Mod Type and TEMPO SYNC LEDs will be lit. For

example, if you press the down side of the rocker switch when you’re in

PATTERN mode, the Ampliton will go to TRIANGLE/TEMPO

SYNC mode. At this point, the TAP TEMPO LED will start

flashing at the last speed it was set at (or at the default rate of 120 bpm

if no tempo has been set since the unit was turned on).

3. Tap the [TAP TEMPO] button several times to set the desired

tempo.

The TAP TEMPO LED will flash in time to the hits. As long as

the [RATE] control is in the center position, the tremolo or autopan

speed will match the tempo.

4. If the tempo isn’t quite right, “tap” a steady, discrete beat on

any instrument connected to the input. The internal processor

will then synchronize the tapped tempo with the audio input.

The processor will make slight alterations to the tempo such

that it stays synchronized with the beat of the audio input.

To turn Tempo Sync off:

Simply press the UP side of the [MODULATION] switch

repeatedly until the Tempo Sync LED goes off, then select the

autopan or tremolo mode/waveform you want.
