Tempo Controls
Delay and reverb controls in the TEMPO window.
In Octabam Bus, use the TEMPO window to view and edit the shared delay and reverb controls.
Controls
Press [TEMPO]: the window opens at the menu window's size, with two boxes, DELAY and REVERB, listing each engine's knobs with the values the host page would show.
| Control | Does |
|---|---|
| UP / DOWN | move the cursor a row in the focused box (the box scrolls, five rows visible) |
| A | edits the selected parameter on the host track (×7 while A is pushed is the stock fast turn) |
| B | the same as A |
| LEFT / RIGHT | focus DELAY / REVERB; each box keeps its own cursor |
| LEVEL | BPM in whole steps (×7 while LEVEL is pushed) |
| FUNC + LEVEL | BPM in 0.1 steps |
| [TEMPO], [YES], [NO] | close |
The header prints the tempo as TEMPO 121.2, or PTN 121.2 while the
pattern tempo is on.
The delay's knobs and the reverb's knobs list what the boxes show.
