      When tempo is toggled on [push the encoder button] the delay time is expressed in rhythmic fractions of the tempo. I have written all of the available subdivisions below in chronological order from no delay to whole. Can anyone explain to me what the designations "t" and "?" mean?

      1/64
      1/32t
      1/64?
      1/32
      1/16t
      1/32?
      1/16
      1/8t
      1/16?
      1/8
      1/4t
      1/8?
      1/4
      5/16
      1/2t
      1/4?
      7/16
      1/2
      9/16

      t = triplet (2/3 times non-triplet value)

      ° = dotted (1.5 times non-dotted value)

      Thx. Is there some reference to this nomenclature in the manual or knowledgebase?

      Not that I could find. The TF UM says "common note values" and a KB search (for "dotted" or "triplet" turns up two H3000 articles.

      It probably wouldn't hurt to add something to the UM about this nomenclature, although I have seen other companies use similar notation. I'm wondering if there's a UM revision in the works, now that the production release of V3 is out…
