The TempoDly effect will synchronize to either:
a) the internal clock that drives the Arp/Seq
or
b) to incoming MIDI Clock when the Tempo is set to MIDI, i.e., reduce the Tempo to
less than 40 and the display will read 'MIDI'.

In the Documentation directory of our files section here at Yahoo! Groups
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/filesis an Excel spread sheet an-lfo.xls provided by Yamaha that lists the relative values of
the AN1x LFO to actual Hz values. This same spreadsheet is available as a PDF from
the XGFactory web site:
http://www.xgfactory.com/downloads/an-lfo1.PDF Once you have the Hz value you can calculate the BPM and corresponding beat
divisions.
A quick visit to Shareware Music Machine
http://www.hitsquad.com/ will reveal MANY
freeware and shareware Music calculators for just this sort of work.
My current favorite for OS X is 'BPMCalc'. I thought we had a copy of WizCalc for Win
in the Files section butit is no longer there - perhaps I was mistaken...
I would suggest you might find the FreeEG more convienant as it also sync's to either
the Arp/Seq or incoming MIDI Clock. Using a FreeEG Tracks you can record your knob
movements or modulations and set a division of measures using the Length option.
