External Tap Tempo
The Gemini 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 Gemini. 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:
