@BrittishAnger writes in asking why the BPM for the delay and tape echo effect changes when playing different pads. This is most likely due to how the SP404 mk2 figures out the tempo, and it essentially does this based on the last pad played. If two pads have a different BPM set, then you'll see awkward behavior as you play the two different pads. Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by everybody. Keep making music, and remember, if it sounds good, it is good. Peace!
