4.2 Measure
This control is used to select the measure, which needs to be set for the ACME-4 to start at the
right moment. It always starts with a lead-in of one bar, otherwise it would not be possible to shift
clock channels ahead in time (sorry, we did not succed in building a time-travel device ...). The only
exception is the 16/8th measure where the lead-in is only half a bar (8/8th) long.
The LED next to the measure knob flashes at the beignning of each bar. During the lead-in it shows
the count-in. If a measure with an odd number of 8th is selected, the LED flashes on every 8th,
while with even measures it flashes on every quarter. Apart from the lead-in the selected measure
also influences when changes in the run/halt buttons and the tempo switches are executed. These
functtions always occure at the beginning of a bar.
Note!
A change of measure only takes effect at the next start of the ACME-4.
4.3 Memory / Tempo
Depending of the current operating mode this rotary switch selects either one of 12 memory locations
or controls the speed of the
. The LEDs below indicate which of these two
functions is currently activ.
4.4 Manual
Pressing the Manual button switches to manual mode, in which all parameters correspond to the
settings of their respective controls. Pressing the manual button again will make the ACME-4 transmit
all its current parameters via USB Midi. This allows the recording of all settings into a software
sequencer at the beginning of a song. For further details please refer to
