TAP TEMPO AND MIDI CLOCK
Leap Series pedals support Tap Tempo for the modulation LFO or the delay time. The pedal
will always prioritize the delay time for sound modes that have both LFO and delay.
Tap the TAP / CTRL (left) footswitch once to begin the Tap Tempo function. The display will
show TAP in the lower left corner to indicate that the pedal is waiting for a second tap.
Tap the TAP / CTRL (left) footswitch a second time to set the tempo and end the Tap Tempo
function.
If you don’t tap a second time, the tempo will remain at the previously set value.
If TAPCNT is enabled in the Setup menu, the display will also show a bar to indicate the
remaining time before the Tap Tempo function times out and resets.
The DIV parameter on PG3 of the display sets the tap tempo subdivision.
TRP: time subdivides to eighth-note triplet (3x tap speed)
8TH: time subdivides to eighth-note (2x tap speed)
DOT: time subdivides to dotted eighth-note (1.5x tap speed)
QTR: time is not subdivided, quarter-note (1x tap speed)
NCLK: time is not subdivied, quarter note, MIDI CLOCK is ignored
The pedal will use the most recent tempo adjustment, so if you tap tempo and then turn the
Time or Rate knob the tapped tempo will be cancelled and set to the knob value.
If you tap in a tempo and then save the preset, the saved time will use the tempo and the
subdivision as set by the DIV knob. If you use the time or rate knob to set the tempo, it may
load with a dierent tempo unless DIV is set to QTR or NCLK. If you mostly plan to use the
pedal knobs to set the tempo, we recommend using the QTR or NCLK setting for DIV.
Leap Series pedals also sync to incoming MIDI clock over the MultiJack or USB. MIDI clock
will override all other tempo sources including Tap Tempo and the pedal knobs, unless DIV is
set to NCLK in which case the pedal will ignore MIDI clock entirely.
The DIV setting is saved for each preset, so you can use any division on any preset based on
your musical needs.
Your Leap Series pedal supports two dierent tempo modes, set by the TEMPO item in the
Setup menu.
PRESET: Each preset loads with its saved tempo and division
PRST+MS: Each preset loads with its saved tempo and division, display shows
delay time in milliseconds after tap tempo.
GLOBAL: All presets load with the same master tempo but will subdivide based
on DIV settings in preset.
GLOB+MS: All presets load with the same master tempo but will subdivide based
on DIV settings in preset. Display shows delay time in milliseconds after tap tempo.
Presets saved with DIV = NCLK will always load with their saved tempo, even if the
pedal is set to GLOBAL tap tempo. This is useful for dialing in slap echo when in GLOBAL
tempo mode.
STEREO ROUTING
Every Leap Series pedal is designed to work in a stereo context, but also shines in mono.
We’ll cover how all the various stereo modes work so you can pick the one that works best
with your rig.
To set the stereo mode, enter the Setup menu and navigate to STEREO. The pedal will
recongure its inputs and outputs as you step through the menu, and once you’ve set it as
you like just hold the PAGE knob to save.
We also allow you to change the phase of the R output to correct issues with the phase of
your ampliers or other eects. Try setting R.PHASE to both options, the one with more low
end is usually correct.
Standard mono input.
Use this for mono input with full stereo output
Use the L output for mono.
Input is summed L+R from TRS, output is full stereo.
Use this if you play in mono but have stereo eects before
the Leap Series pedal.
Input is stereo from TRS, output is full stereo.
Use this if the previous device in chain has stereo output.
