6 Clock Channels
6.4 Double / Half Tempo
With these switches you can set individual clock channels to double, normal, or half tempo on the
fly. Changes in tempo will always occur at the beginning of the next bar, as defined by the
selected.
When in half tempo the change may take two bars of the normal tempo channels to take effect,
depending on where during the channel’s bar (twice as long at this speed) the switching occures.
The ACME-4 always plays full bars on all channels before tempo changes are executed.
6.5 Run / Halt
These push-buttons allow the clock channels to be turned on and off while the master clock is running.
Like with the tempo switches, changes take effect at the beginning of the next bar. The corresponding
channel LED will flash when a change is pending to be executed. When the master clock is not run-
ning, flashing channel LEDs indicate “armed” channels that will run when the master clock is started.
Note!
Make sure that the measure of the ACME-4, the master clock source, and all devices con-
nected are the same, otherwise channels may be still in sync but off-beat when turned off and on.
Note!
If you have an
AKAI MPC
connected to one of the channels, use the
to
put that channel into
. Otherwise, the MPC will not start again if the Shift 16th parameter
is not set to zero.
