Enable Plug-in Tempo Sync and Start Tapping
To enable tempo sync on the plug-in:
1 Navigate to a delay plug-in and enable its tempo sync button.
Repeat for other delay plug-ins you want to sync.
2 Tap the assigned Tap Tempo trigger (Function switch or
Footswitch) in time with the music. At least two taps are
needed to set the tempo; additional taps can result in a more ac-
curate tempo setting.
The delay time of all Tempo Sync-enabled plug-ins change to
match the system tempo. While tapping, the calculated tempo is
also shown in the Status area of the screen.
Tips for Using Tap Tempo
The plug-in Tempo Sync switch enables/disables that individual
plug-in’s delay value from following the system tempo. Use the
individual plug-in Tempo Sync switches to sync one, some or all
delay plug-ins.
Tempos can range from 20 BPM (3,000 ms) to 300 BPM (200
ms). Some delay plug-ins offer different time divisions (such as
1/8th, 16th, or dotted) that you can select for variations based on
the system tempo. Check your delay plug-ins to see if they sup-
port Tempo Sync and subdivision settings (most, but not all, do).
Snapshots and Tempo Sync
If you need a specific delay time every time a certain snapshot is
recalled, store Tempo with snapshots. For details, see “Adding
Tempo Data to Snapshots” on page 209.
Tempo Sync button in Mod Delay III
How the tempo sync button is labeled differs depending on
the plug-in. See the documentation for the plug-in to lo-
cated the tempo sync button.
When Tap Tempo is assigned to a Function switch, that
switch flashes in time with the current tempo setting.
