In the Files section here at Yahoo! Groups, in the Documentation directory, you will
find a spreadsheet in Excel format of the AN1x LFO Speeds and the corresponding
value in Herz.

There are any number of freeware, and shareware, delay time calculators available for
download off the 'net - try Shareware Music Machine at

http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/MUSIC_CALCULATORS/

These typically convert Tempo to ms but some (such as MusciMath OS X) will also
convert to Herz.

Simply enter the desired tempo to determine the delay time value in Hz - now locate
this value on the spreadsheet and dial in the correct LFO Speed value on your AN1x.

There is a PDF version of this spreadsheet on the Dowloads page of XGFactory too:

Yamaha was good enough to provide this spreadsheet a few years back upon
accepting requests from AN1x-list. It's also applicable towards the PLG150-AN and of
course the AN200.

Good luck,

Jon
