Chapter 3 - Tap Tempo Function
The delay time can be set in relation to the tempo of the music by tapping on the
[Select-Tap / Variation] footswitch. Recall that the same footswitch is also used to
select preset locations, so how can we engage tap-tempo function without inad-
vertently making preset selection?
Note that whichever preset location you’re currently on, it takes a maximum of 3
moves to get to any other preset locations. Let’s say you’re on preset location 1,
then it takes 3 footswitch taps to get into preset location 4. Tapping the footswitch
one more time will take you back to where you started (the current preset loca-
tion).
With this consideration in mind, we’ve programmed the pedal so that the tap-
tempo function is engaged if more than 3 footswitch taps is registered. In other
words, you must tap at least 4x
to initiate the tap-tempo function. The new
delay time will be updated immediately after the 4th tap.

Subdivision (tap-ratio)
When using the tap-tempo function, you can use the TIME knob to select one of
the four subdivision options. The TIME knob is partitioned into 4 region, where
each region represents a subdivision.
* Note that the subdivision setting is only relevant when using the tap-tempo func-
tion.
