CC message. Enter Setup menu and navigate to Exp&Tap&Tuner submenu, then select TAP.(see Fig. 13)

Choose CC number corresponding to the one of the controlled device. With each repeated tap this CC will

be sent to the controlled device. Choose tempo button behavior from 3 possible cases - CC_tg, CC_ct or

CC_mt (see Managing Effects). Thus, TAP TEMPO feature is always available without assigning a separate

button.

Internal generated tap-tempo is not accompanied by LED flashing; no additional information is shown on

the display as well. But TB-12(5) can display tempo from income SysEx MIDI messages if data format

known. Fractal Audio AxeFx (standard, ultra, II, II XL) devices and Kemper Profiler Amplifier messages are

currently supported. You can choose TAP indication in Tap display menu(see Fig. 14).
