•
Tempo Response: Sets the sensitivity to tempo changes: the larger the value, the greater the
sensitivity. You should set this value to 4, for most situations. If you nd that your tap timing
is imprecise, but want Logic Pro to play at a relatively constant tempo, reduce this value to 2
or so.
•
Max. Tempo Change: Use this parameter to set the maximum tempo change possible per tap
(in bpm). To obtain the most regular, or even tempo curve, follow this rule: set the smallest
possible value (in other words, only as large as necessary).
•
Tap Count-In: Sets the number of taps used as a count-in. Logic Pro starts following the tempo
on the rst tap after the count-in taps.
•
Smoothing: Turning on this function smooths out jumps in tempo, resulting from incoming
taps (which could prove useful when using Logic Pro live). You should turn it o if you want
Logic Pro to follow your taps precisely and quickly.
•
Tempo Recording: Creates a tempo list that follows your taps, when in record mode. This option
should normally be turned o.
•
Pre and Post: Determine which tap signals are displayed:
•
Pre: Displays every incoming tap.
•
Post: Displays every accepted tap that occurs within the time window (as dened by the
Window parameter), or close to, or on, a tap step.
The Pre/Post tap signals ash yellow if the taps are within the allowed range, and red if they
are out of range.
Note: Only the selected software instrument track, and all external MIDI tracks, can play when the
Tempo Interpreter window is open.
