• 9.1.2 Tapping the Tempo

  • Click Tap Tempo on every beat to set the tempo; the more taps, the more accurate.
  • To tap with a key: turn on the Key switch, select Tap Tempo, press the key, and turn the Key switch off. MIDI Map Mode assigns a note or controller, such as a footswitch.
  • With Start Playback with Tap Tempo on in Record, Warp & Launch Settings, tapping starts playback: four taps in 4/4. Link-connected apps start in phase.
