Blinking Tempo Tap light not in sync with Downbeat.

The blinking-light starts getting noticeable slower tempos less than 75 BPM and really out-of-sync if you slow it down to 40 BPM.

I tested that with the SEQ and didn't notice much out of sync.

I wonder if moving the tempo dial up/down/all over while the beat is in progress is part of what you are seeing. Maybe best accuracy is when one is doing a start and making minor variations.

I would not be able to rely visually on the speed of a blinking light to stay in sync. I would rather hear vs 'see ' the beat

As far as I am aware, this is the expected behaviour.

The tempo light flashes continuously, regardless of whether the sequencer, drum track or KARMA is running. To remain in time with the downbeat, the tempo light would have to "miss a beat" when one of the above was started. This is, for example, the sequencer has its own beat indicator.

Also, whilst the sequencer, drum track and Karma follow the same clock, they don't have to be started synchronously - they can all be started at different times.

Triggering the start of KARMA resets the tempo LED. Other actions may do so as well, such as starting the sequencer.
