32 Chapter 2 Delay
3 To finish creating taps, click the Last Tap button.
This adds the final tap, ending tap recording, and assigning the last tap as the feedback
tap (see “The Master Section” for an explanation of the feedback tap).
Note: If you do not click the Last Tap button, tap recording automatically stops after
ten seconds, or when the 26th tap is created, whichever comes first.
To copy taps in the identification bar:
m Option-drag a selection of one or more taps to the desired position.
The delay time of copied taps is set to the drag position.
Tap Creation Suggestions
The fastest way to create multiple taps is to use the Tap pads. If you have a specific
rhythm in mind, you might find it easier to tap out your rhythm on dedicated hardware
controller buttons, instead of using mouse clicks. If you have a MIDI controller, you can
assign the Tap pads to buttons on your device. See the Control Surfaces Support
manual for information on assigning controllers.
Whenever you click the Start Tap pad, it will automatically erase all existing taps. Given
this behavior, once you have created your initial taps, you will want to create
subsequent taps by clicking in the identification bar.
Once a tap has been created, you can freely adjust its position. See “Moving Taps” for
details.
Identifying Taps
Taps are assigned letters—based on their order of creation. The first tap to be created is
assigned as Tap A, the second tap is assigned as Tap B, and so on. Once assigned, each
tap will always be identified by the same letter, even as taps are moved in time, and
therefore re-ordered. As an example, if you initially create three taps, they will be
named Tap A, Tap B, and Tap C. If you then change the delay time of Tap B, so that it
precedes Tap A, it will still be called Tap A.
The identification bar shows the letter of each visible tap. The Tap Delay field of the Tap
parameter bar displays the letter of the currently selected tap, or the letter of the tap
being edited when multiple taps are selected (see “Selecting Taps” for details).
