24 TASCAM X-9 Owner’s Manual

Some music may have rather complex rhythms, and

it may be unable to determine the beat automatically.

If the X-9 cannot determine the timing of

the music automatically, you can use the

TAP key to set the timing.

The

TAP key can also be used to set the

tempo used for the effect when the

EFFECT key is

not lit.

The different values obtainable here (1, 2, 4, 1/2, etc.)

allow you to set up interesting rhythms matching the

tempo of the music to the effect.

The

TAP and BPM indicators under the display show

whether the timing has been obtained manually

(

TAP) or automatically (BPM).

To exit the

BEAT mode, turn the DATA knob to enter

the time setting mode. Turning the knob again will

edit the time value.

Effect parameters

The following are the parameters which may be set

for the X-9’s internal effects:

Storing effects

You can store up to 30 of each type of effect with the

settings you have made in the X-9 (these settings are

memorized, even when the power is turned off). This

means 8 types of effect with 30 memories for each

effect = 240 memories in total.

EFFECT key is lit (if

it is not, this procedure will not

work).

FUNCTION key for about

two seconds. The

MEMO

indicator blinks, and the

ENTER key. The MEMO

storing effects is shown in the display.

4 Use the

DATA knob to select the number of

the slot to store the effect (if you don’t want

to use the empty one suggested by the X-9 or

if you have to overwrite an existing setting).

The number flashes in the display (or if all

slots are full, the display alternately shows

FULL (FULL) and the number you selected.

5 Press the

ENTER key. If the slot is empty, the

settings are stored in the slot, and the existing
