The Tap-Tempo function may be used only with files (Audio and Midi) whose original BPM is known; in the case of midifiles this is always known but in the case of audio files (Wave or Mp3) you must indicate the BPM because the instrument does not read it. The BPM of an Audio file must be indicated in the filename: if, for example, you have a song called "name.mp3" at 120 BPM you should rename it "name@120.mp3". In this way the instrument will have the reference BPM and takes it to the Tap Tempo function.
