When turned on, the LED will indicate the direction the Tempo fader needs to be moved in order the track to get the same BPM as the opposite one.
When a LED flashes, indicates the direction the Tempo fader needs to be moved in order the actual/hardware fader to catch the software tempo value and re-gain tempo control from the Inpulse. This can happen if the SYNC button is pressed and the track gets a tempo value different than the one the hardware fader designates.
Both LEDs will operate only when the BeatMatch Guide button [33] is enabled.
