(*1) It not only counts the beat of bass sounds but also calculates, using a computer, the original BPM of the song required by DJs and displays it digitally. This allows the BPM to now be checked not only with the ear as done previously but also visually, thereby enabling songs with different tempos to be mixed more quickly and simply. (*1: Able to calculate the BPM of most songs, but not of some (e.g. acapella, ad lib, etc.).) Beat Effector (Effects linked to BPM) Various effects are linked to the BPM calculated by the above auto BPM counter to allow a never-before sound mixing. 1. Delay (one repeated sound) Mixes delay sounds of 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 beats quickly and simply. For example, when 1/2 beat delay sounds are mixed, the beat will change from 4 to 8. When 3/4 beat delay sounds are mixed, the rhythm will change to a jumpy one. (Example) Original (4 beats) 1/2 delay (8 beats) 12
