Create a Tap Tempo Event
2 Go to the Options > Events page and do the following in the
order presented:
• Create a new Event and call it Tap Tempo.
• Click the Add button in the Trigger area, and select an
available Function switch (F switch) or Footswitch.
• Click the Add button in the Action section, and choose
Tap Tempo.
Enable the Plug-in’s Tempo Sync and Start Tapping
Next, navigate to a delay plug-in and enable its Tempo Sync
switch. Repeat for other delay plug-ins you want to sync.
3 Tap the assigned Tap Tempo trigger (Function switch or Foot-
switch) 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.
Tips for Using Tap Tempo
The plug-in Tempo Sync switch enables/disables that individ-
ual plug-in’s delay value from following the system tempo.
Use the individual plug-in Tempo Sync switches to sync one,
some or all delay plug-ins.
Tempos can range from 20 BPM (3,000 ms) to 300 BPM (200
ms). Some delay plug-ins offer different time divisions (such
as 1/8th, 16th, or dotted) that you can select for variations
based on the system tempo. Check your delay plug-ins to see
if they support Tempo Sync and subdivision settings (most,
but not all, do).
Snapshots and Tempo Sync
If you need a specific delay time every time a certain snapshot
is recalled, store Tempo with snapshots. For details, see “Add-
ing Tempo Data to Snapshots” on page 191.
