SA240 Mercury Flanger User’s Guide 31

External Tap Tempo

The Mercury supports an external tap tempo switch that can be connected to its Control Input port.

Tap tempo can be used to directly input a tempo and override the speed knob. Tap tempo is disabled

by default; it can be enabled in the hardware options menu in the Neuro App.

When External Tap Tempo mode is active, the Speed knob acts to set the beat subdivisions, just as it

does when MIDI Clock is enabled.

Source Audio makes tap tempo switches that are compatible with the Mercury. These switches can

be purchased on the store on Source Audio’s website.

The plug going to the tap tempo footswitch must be TRRS and have the signal connections as shown

in the following figure.

The tap tempo switch needs to be more than a simple switch; a pull-up resistor and RC passive low

pass filter are required. The circuit for the footswitch is shown in the following figure:
