Metronome

Let’s go through the Metronome functions. Hit the left most soft key below “Met”.
Now you can access these functions:

BPM=100 –

This is the default tempo. You can change the tempo by pressing the soft keys under the BPM indicator.

The

key will increase the tempo and the

–

key will decrease the tempo. The tempo range is 30 BPM to

240 BPM (just for you crazy speed metal bands). If you hold the button down, the BPM advances faster.

Or click the button to change the BPM one increment at a time.

4/4 –

This is the type of beat. You can change it to another type by hitting the “More” key. We’ll go into this in

detail below.

More –

This key is where you can change the beat type or you can tap in a tempo.

Tap –

This button allows you to tap the tempo. Simply tap in a tempo by pressing the button in time to the

music and the JamHub metronome follows your lead and displays the current BPM. Hit the Esc button to

return to the Met main menu where you can fine tune the BPM using the

and

–

key.

Type

–

Hitting this key changes the beat type. There are 9 types of tempos in the JamHub metronome: 1/4,

2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4(23), 5/4(32), 7/8(223), 7/8(232) and 7/8(322) where the numbers in the parenthesis

disclose the accent beats locations. Keep hitting Type to scroll through the options.

Esc –

Takes you back to the prior menu.

Utility

There are three functions in the Util menu: Format SD Card, Show Capacity and LCD Contrast. You can switch between

them by using the

and

–

keys. Hit OK to enter the selected function or Esc to exit.

Format SD Card

–

Use this function to rewrite an SD memory card that is unformatted or has been damaged.

Formatting will overwrite all data on the card and in the process may fix a card that has been

damaged by a cell phone or magnet. Some damage is irreparable, but the JamHub will do it’s

best to fix the card. Hit OK to reformat the card or Esc to leave the Util menu.

Show Capacity

–

This function shows how much room is left on the SD card in Gigabytes and percentage used.

LCD Contrast –

Hit the

and

–

key to change the contrast level of the LCD.

Additional TourBus Features: Recording Functions

The JamHub

TourBus model has the ability to record your jam sessions directly onto a removable Secure Digital (SD)

RAM card. Once you’re done jamming, you can play the recording back right from the TourBus, or simply take the SD

RAM card to your computer and move the files for sharing and reviewing with the band (or others). TourBus recordings

are stereo and written as .WAV files at CD quality audio (16-bit 44.1kHz).
There are just a few things you need to know about the recording capability of the TourBus to get started. First, the R

section’s SoleMix

controls are where you’ll create the mix for recording. If the person who’s going to manage the

recorded mix is also one of the musicians, they should connect their headphones into section 1 and use the 1–R switch to

quickly flip back and forth between their own mix and the recording mix. See the 1–R switch section on page 13 for more

details.

Menu Structure

and Soft Keys

The soft keys are software dependent. That

is, their functions change as you are using

JamHub’s recording capabilities. This is similar

to soft keys on your cell phone. Just watch the

LCD for clues as to what the keys do.

Transport (recording) functions:

The transport functions are designed like

those you’ve probably used before with a few

special capabilities. Let’s go through them

one at a time.

Rewind key:

Hit once and the device

rewinds the current song at 5 seconds

per second playing 1 second of audio as it

rewinds. Double click the button and the

device rewinds at a fast speed (10 times

faster). Triple click the button and it takes

you to the beginning of the current song.

Triple click within the first 3 seconds of a

song and you will be taken to the prior song.

Fast Forward key:

Hit once and the

device advances through the current song

at 5 seconds per second playing 1 second of

audio as it advances. Double click the button

and the device advances at a fast speed (10 times faster). Triple click the button and it takes you to the next song.

Stop:

This key stops the play, recording, fast forward and rewind functions.

Play:

This key is used for playback of what’s been recorded.

Record:

This key is used to arm the JamHub to record.

When you hit the record key once, you’ll see the button’s outer ring starts to blink red. This means the JamHub is ready

to record. Hit the Record

key again and you’ll see the outer ring changes to solid red. This tells you that the JamHub is

recording. To turn on the metronome during recording, before hitting the record button a second time, hit the right most

soft button to turn on, or off, the metronome. Hit the Stop

button to stop the recording process. The LED will turn off

indicating that the JamHub is no longer armed for recording.
When you hit the Stop button your TourBus will ask you if you want to keep the recording. Hit the soft key button under

the word “YES” to keep the file and hit the “NO” soft key to discard the recording. Note, there is no “undo” function.
When you are recording you will see “New” over the third soft key button. To start a new song file, simply hit “New” and

the TourBus will save your existing recording and start a new file. This allows you to have one song per file which helps

you find songs after a jam. Having many small files is easier to manage than having one large file to listen through, so

use this button often. Also, after the jam, you can use a computer to rename the files for easier playback.
The red ring around the Record

button is designed to be viewable from a distance. Simply look over at the JamHub

while you’re playing to know if it’s recording your jam. If there is a solid red light, you’re recording. If the light is blinking

or off, you’re not recording.
