Using the Tap Tempo function

This section explains how to use the Tap Tempo function. "Tap tempo" is a function that lets you specify the delay time of a
delay effect or the modulation speed of a modulation effect by striking a key at the desired interval.
1 From the effect library, recall a library item
whose effect type uses a TEMPO parameter
(e.g., Delay+ER., Echo, Chorus).
TEMPO is a parameter that specifies a time-related
effect parameter (the DELAY parameter of Delay+ER.
or Echo, or the FREQ. parameter of Chorus, etc.) in
terms of a BPM value or a manual setting. The TEMPO
parameter is included in delay-type effects or modula-
tion-type effects, and is shown in the lower left of the
EFFECT PARAM screen.
Hint
For details on the parameters of each effect type, refer to the
Appendices at the end of this manual ( ➥ p.325).
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly
press the [EFFECT] key to access the EFFECT
PARAM screen.

3 Move the cursor to the TAP TEMPO button,
and repeatedly press the [ENTER] key at the
desired tempo. (Alternatively, repeatedly click
the TAP TEMPO button.)
The average interval (BPM) at which you press the key
will be calculated, and that value will be input for the
TEMPO parameter.
The average interval will be input
(the average of a, b, and c)

Hint
• The Tap Tempo function is valid only for the currently dis-
played internal effect. However, it is ignored if the selected
effect type does not include a TEMPO parameter.
• If the average value is outside the range of 20–300 BPM, it
will be ignored.
• If desired, an external switch connected to the GPI connec-
tor can be used to operate the Tap Tempo function of the
current page ( ➥ p.133).
