Tap Tempo for Plug-ins
Tap Tempo lets you quickly establish a system tempo to use as a beat clock for delay and echo plug-ins that support Tempo Sync.
The system tempo defaults to 120 BPM (beats per minute). You can set a custom tempo in a number of ways including by tapping
a Function switch, Footswitch or other control as explained below. The system tempo is stored as a console setting within the Show
file. Snapshots can also store and recall tempo.
Using Tap Tempo
To use Tap Tempo, first enable the system tempo, create a Tap Tempo event, then enable tempo sync on the delay or echo plug-in.
Enable the System Tempo
To enable the System Tempo:
1 Go to Options > Misc and locate the Tap Tempo section.
2 Turn on global tempo sync for the system by selecting the On switch directly below the Tempo encoder so that it lights (on).
3 If desired, select the Units selector to choose Beats Per Minute (BPM) or Milliseconds as the units for displayed values.
Enable Plug-in Tempo Sync and Start Tapping
To enable tempo sync on the plug-in:
1 Navigate to a delay plug-in and enable its tempo sync button. Repeat for other delay plug-ins you want to sync.
2 Tap the assigned Tap Tempo trigger (Function switch or Footswitch) in time with the music. At least two taps are needed to set
the tempo; additional taps can result in a more accurate tempo setting.
The delay time of all Tempo Sync-enabled plug-ins change to match the system tempo. While tapping, the calculated tempo is also
shown in the Status area of the screen.
