Tap Tempo - Kemper PROFILER Main Manual

Rig Settings 48
The selected tempo and the "Tempo Enable" status are stored with the current Rig. In Performance Mode, you will
find the soft button labeled "Use Performance Tempo" on the "Tempo" page in Rig Settings. When highlighted, the
current tempo is applied to each of the five Slots, to ensure an equal tempo for the setup of a song. The tempo
settings of the individual Rigs are ignored. "Performance Tempo" is stored with the Performance.
Be sure to enable "Tempo" for all Slots in the Performance for which the tempo is relevant - e.g. for a delay - by
pressing the TAP button once when the respective Slot is in focus. Activating "Performance Tempo" will overrule the
Rig's tempo settings, but not the "Tempo Enable" status.
The "Lock Tempo" soft button will prevent Rig or Performance changes affecting the current tempo. This tempo will
now stay indefinitely, until you tap a new one, or change it via one of the other methods described above.

Tap Tempo

Tap the TAP button in quarter notes (crotchets) to create the desired tempo. A tempo is taken with the second tap,
but the more you tap, the more accurate the tempo will be. To really get the most out of Tap Tempo, you can assign
a foot switch to this parameter, and simply Tap the beat with your foot while you play. You can also assign a button
of a MIDI controller to the Tap function. PROFILER Remote offers a dedicated TAP button. Learn more about this in
chapter PROFILER Remote and MIDI.
Tap Tempo not only influences the time value of the delay, but also that of any other tempo-related effects in the
present Rig as well. To achieve the desired beats per minute (bpm), it is essential that you only tap in quarter notes
(crotchets). "To Tempo" must be selected to sync delay to tempo. The rhythmic pattern of the delay is determined by
the respective musical values for each delay channel.
