Once TAP MODE is activated, the tempo will be displayed by the flashing tempo LED.
The DELAY TIME knob can then be used to change the beat division of the delay.
Options include quarter note, dotted 8
16
note, 16
triplet. Turning the Delay Time knob in TAP MODE will show the current
th
th
setting on the display. Because the display is limited to a single character and decimal
point, the beat divisions are displayed in abbreviated form as follows:
BEAT DIVISIONS DISPLAYED = 6. / 6 / 8. / 6. / 8 / 4. / 8. / 4
ACTUAL BEAT DIVISIONS = 16• /16 /8t /16t /8 /4t /8• /4
Unfortunately, this means that in some cases the decimal point in the display
represents a dotted note, and in other cases it represents a triplet. But, if you keep in
mind that the divisions go from smallest to largest, it will help as you change the
setting.
The Time After Time, being an analog delay, is limited to a delay time range of 32ms to
524ms. When using TAP TEMPO, there may be times when the combination of tempo
and division would cause the delay time to be outside of the capable delay range. If
this happens, the Time After Time automatically shifts the beat divisions until the delay
time comes within range. For example, if the tapped tempo is 100 BPM and the BEAT
DIVISION is set to ¼ note, then the delay time would be 600ms, which is beyond the
capabilities of the circuit. In this case, the Time After Time would adjust the BEAT
DIVISION to dotted 8
TAP TEMPO IN USE – PRESET MODE
Although the Time After Time has a dedicated switch for activating TAP MODE, the
switch is not designed to be used as a footswitch, and therefore is not a convenient
method for switching on the fly. Instead, the Time After Time is designed to
automatically enable the tap function for presets that are saved in TAP MODE. If you
save preset 2 with TAP MODE active, then the tap function will automatically enable
when the preset appears on the display. For PRESET MODE, this is true both when the
pedal is bypassed and enabled. So if preset 2 is saved as TAP MODE and you are
bypassed with the display showing preset 1, then pressing the 'A' footswitch scrolls to
preset 2 and the tap mode becomes active with tempo LED flashing. At that point you
may either tap a tempo with the 'A' footswitch or hold the 'A' footswitch to increment
scrolling to preset 3. If preset 3 is a TAP MODE preset, the tempo will continue to flash.
If preset 3 is not a TAP MODE preset, the tempo LED will turn off and the tap function
will be disabled.
TAP TEMPO IN USE – BANK MODE
When used in BANK MODE, the ability to use the tap function when bypassed is not
possible. Since the 'A' footswitch is used for toggling the 'A' preset, it cannot be also
th
note, which would make the delay time 450ms (within range).
