USB Functions
Other than the hardware control interface, the BodyBeat Sync’s metronome can be driven by two
additional methods with the help of the USB port located on the right side of the unit.
Receiving MIDI Clock - Connect the BodyBeat Sync to a computer using the provided mini USB cable.
Aer the system recognizes and installs the device automatically, select USB Audio Device as the MIDI
output port to transmit a MIDI clock signal. When this signal is present, the tempo setting on your Body-
Beat Sync cannot be adjusted because it is under the control of your MIDI capable soware.
Note: Meter, Subdivision and Accent Pattern can all be adjusted when syncing to a MIDI
clock signal. MIDI clock will only aect the BPM or Tempo of your unit and is not capable
of setting more complex parameters such as Beats Per Measure, or Beat Value. You will need
to manually set these parameters for the BodyBeat sync to count correctly in respect to your
MIDI soware.
Importing MIDI les as Tempo Maps - e BodyBeat Sync is capable of storing nine MIDI Tempo Maps
in its local memory. A MIDI Tempo Map is a MIDI le that has been imported into the BodyBeat Sync
via the BodyBeat Sync USB soware. Once imported, only the number of bars, meter changes, and tempo
changes are stored in the BodyBeat Sync memory. All instrument, track and pitch information is ignored.
It is then referred to as a MIDI Tempo Map. Up to 999 bars can be stored in each of nine memory
locations.
MIDI Tempo Maps can also be created from scratch using a free online tool. To download the latest
version of the USB soware and obtain further instruction on how to import MIDI les as MIDI Tempo
Maps, or to design your own Tempo Maps, visit http://www.bodybeat.net/.
