Tap Tempo is the term we use to refer to the “System Tempo” value that is accessed
via the TAP button on your POD HD500 device. Stomp rhythmically to set your
Tap Tempo. Alternatively, you can set a numerical Tempo value within Setup (see
“Page 6, MIDI/Tempo Options” on page 2•10). This setting is saved per Preset.
You’ll see the LED on the TA P switch blink to indicate your current Tap Tempo BPM.
Tempo-based FX (Modulation, Filter & Delay FX) that offer a Tempo Sync parameter can
optionally be set to a note division of this Tap Tempo value.
