Setting The Tempo Using [Tap] - Boss BR-1600CD Basic Operation Gude

Setting the tempo using [TAP]

In addition to setting the tempo using [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial, you can also set it by tapping your
finger on [TAP] at the desired tempo. (Tap Tempo)
This feature proves extremely useful when you want to match the playback tempo to that of an audio CD but don't
know the actual BPM value.

Tap your finger on [TAP] four times
with approximately the same interval.
The tempo will be set based on the average tapping
interval.
In addition to the two methods indicated above, it is also possible to specify tempos much more precisely for each
individual measure. For more detailed information, refer to "Setting tempos and beats for individual measures
(Tempo Map/Beat Map)" (Owner's Manual; p. 198).
And a further method also enables you to control the BR-1600CD's tempo by synchronizing it with the tempo of an
external MIDI sequencer. For more detailed information, refer to "Synchronizing external MIDI sequencers and
rhythm machines" (Owner's Manual; p. 225).
