Plug-ins  Using the Tap Tempo function
2.
Open the popup window for an effect you want to control.
3.
Set the SYNC parameter in the parameter field to ON.
4.
Select one of TEMPO 1–4 on the left of the popup menu.
NOTE
If you select MIDI CLK, the BPM parameter value will change according to the tempo of the MIDI
timing clock received from the MIDI port.
5.
At the desired tempo, repeatedly press the USER DEFINED key to which you
assigned the Tap Tempo function.
The average interval (BPM) at which you press the key will be calculated, and that value will be
applied to the BPM parameter.
The average interval will be input to the parameter.

First tap
NOTE
If the average value is outside the range of 20–300 BPM, the tapping sequence will be ignored.
Effects and tempo synchronization
Some effects can be synchronized with the tempo. There are two such types of effect: delay-type
effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to
the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change
according to the tempo.
Parameters related to tempo synchronization
The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization.
1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ.
SYNC: .................................This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization.
NOTE and TEMPO:.........These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization.
DELAY and FREQ.: ..........DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the
modulation signal. These parameters directly affect the way in
which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for
delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type
effects.
How the parameters are related
Tempo synchronization calculates the DELAY (or FREQ.) value
parameter values.
Turn SYNC ON
Change NOTE → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set
In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.
DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)
