Tap Tempo and Tap Divide
To use tap tempo function you can:
(1) Hold the footswitch when Module/Tap or EXP 1 On/Off function
is assigned to CTRL footswitch
(2) Assign Tap Tempo function to CTRL footswitch
When in Tap Tempo, the footswitch LED will turn blue and will flash
with the tempo set. Set the tempo by repeatedly tapping the
footswitch. This tempo will apply to the delay time and other effects
with adjustable speed parameters.
If you want a certain effect to be controlled by tap tempo, go into the
patch settings, select an effect, then select SYNC. When you do this,
the time will sync to the tap tempo value.
Customizing Your Ampero
You can also opt to use tap divide rather than time-based tempo. The
default tap divide is set to quarter notes (1/4).
