Tap / Rest 
The Tap /Rest button has two functions: 
1.  Tap Tempo 
2.  Inputting Rests when recording sequences. 
Tap Tempo – the Tap Tempo button will allow the user to manually set the rate of 
the sequencer by tapping the button in real time. The number of taps that get 
averaged to calculate the tempo can be set using the MicroBrute Editor 
software. 
Rest – The Tap Tempo button will act as a rest input when you are recording a 
sequence. When you are in record, pressing the Tap button between notes will 
allow you to skip a note. Figure 29 shows and example of the Rest being used to 
edit the rhythm in steps 3 and 7 of a pattern.
