NOTE
If you specify “CURRENT PAGE” in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY
SETUP window, the Tap Tempo function can be used for the currently-displayed effect (rack).
If you specify “RACK x” (x=1-8) in the PARAMETER 1 column in the USER DEFINED KEY
SETUP window, you can use the Tap Tempo function only for a specific effect (rack).
For more information on USER DEFINED keys, refer to “USER DEFINED keys” (page 197).
Using the Tap Tempo function
The average interval (BPM) at which you press the USER DEFINED key will be calculated,
and that value will be applied to the BPM parameter.
NOTE
If the average value is outside the range of 20-300 BPM, it will be ignored.
If you turn on the MIDI CLK button in the special parameter field, the BPM parameter value will
change in relation to the tempo of the MIDI timing clock received from the MIDI port.
