TAP
For each effect that offers TAP Tempo (Tempo synchronisation using key press), the bottom left key is used
as the TAP button.
ASSIGNING F1-6 KEYS TO FX TAP TEMPO (V2.0 Software and above)
In live situations it is often advantageous to be able to easily control the TAP function from a large button
which is permanently accessible on the console surface. The large F1-6 keys below the Master screen can
now be used for this purpose.
Figure 21-3: ASSIGNING F1-6 KEYS TO FX TAP TEMPO.
From V2.0 software, Virtual GPI and GPO Pins are available in the Local Rack section of the GPIO Page, in
addition to the physical Pins that are used for wiring to external equipment.
The Virtual Pins (VGPI and VGPO) can be used as a way of assigning the F-keys and the F-key LEDs to
internal functions in the console.
Currently it is possible to assign the F1-6 keys to remotely control the Lexicon TAP buttons in up to six of
the Lexicon FX units.
The Tempo signal from the Lexicon units can be assigned to the F-key LEDs, in order to provide a visual
indication of the current tempo.
