Tap Tempo - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

Note 2: If the combined setting of the BPM value of the incoming MIDI clock and the note
value of a delay slider would result in a delay time that exceeds 600ms, then the delay will
be limited to 600ms.
Note 3: The DELAY1 and DELAY2 sliders are reset when switching between the Chorus and
Delay and vice versa.

Tap Tempo

This feature is exclusive to the Delay effect and functions in the following way: the Tap
Tempo sets the speed of the delay repeats on the DELAY1 line. The delay repeats of the
DELAY2 line are automatically set to twice the speed of the DELAY1 line.
To activate the Tap Tempo, first engage the Tuner then tap the Program footswitch four
times in tempo. If the taps were accurate, then the rightmost decimal point in the FI's display
will light up. Bear in mind that, because this action is carried out with the Tuner engaged, no
sound will be heard: disengage the Tuner to hear the result.
To cancel the Tap Tempo and return to the stored delay settings of the program, engage the
Tuner again and press the Program footswitch once. The decimal point will go dark again.
Tap Tempo is automatically cancelled whenever a program change occurs.
Fewer than four taps or uneven tapping will fail to activate Tap Tempo, or will disable it if it
was already engaged at the time of tapping.
The range of Tap Tempo is 50-400 BPM.
A Tap Tempo of below 100 BPM exceeds the range of the available maximum delay time. To
overcome this, the Delay1 repeats will be automatically doubled so they fit; accordingly the
DELAY2 repeats will be set to twice the speed of DELAY1.
The decimal point Tap Tempo indicator will temporarily disappear from the display when the
Tuner is being used for tuning but will reappear as soon as the audio signal stops.
Tap Tempo can also be set using the dedicated MIDI commands for the Tuner and for
Program Up and it functions in exactly the same way as described above.
Note: While Tap Tempo is engaged, it overrides MIDI Sync of the delay lines; it has no effect
on MIDI Sync of LFO4. Once disengaged, the delay lines respond to the MIDI clock again.
