Using the Ampliton

Tap Tempo

This button affects the speed of the effect whenever the tremolo

and/or autopan is set to TEMPO SYNC mode. In that mode, you

can tap this button along with the music to set a new tempo. The

Tap Tempo light will flash at the current tempo.

Tap Tempo technique

For a reliable tempo setting, make from four to eight taps in a row

at a consistent speed, especially if you’re changing the tempo

drastically. Watch the flashing of the light to see what tempo the

Ampliton is currently at.

Adjusting tempo with audio input

After the basic tempo has been set using the [TAP TEMPO]

button, it is possible to make small adjustments to the tempo via

the audio input. You do this by “tapping” on the instrument

(playing sharp chords, or beats, without sustain or notes

inbetween) at almost the same speed as the Ampliton’s tempo

LED, or by slightly changing the speed of a drum machine feeding

the inputs. The Ampliton can derive a beat from a complex

musical input, as long as it is reasonably close to the original

“tapped” tempo. The tempo can adjust up or down about 15%

from the original tempo tapped in.

How Tap Tempo works with Tempo Sync and

the Rate knobs

When TEMPO SYNC mode is enabled, the rate of the modulation

will be based on the tempo currently being flashed, multiplied by

the position of its [RATE] knob: when it’s in the middle position

(around “12 o’clock”), the speed of the triangle, square, pattern

etc. wave will be the same as the tempo. See the earlier

descriptions of the [RATE] knob and Tempo Sync for more

information.
