Tap Tempo Functions
Varying the Rhythm The MPX 100 Tap Tempo feature allows you to set the delay times and modulation rates of tempo-based programs to the beat of the music. To set the tempo from the front panel, simply press the Tap button twice in time with the music. That�s your tempo. No more dialing up what �could be� the delay time in milliseconds � just tap twice � the MPX 100 will figure out the time for you. When you want to change tempo, just tap twice again in the new rhythm. Audio Tap You can also use audio input to set the tempo of the MPX 100 delay times. 1. Press and hold the Tap button for two seconds. (The optional dual footswitch lets you press and hold Tap without taking your hands off your instrument. ) While holding down Tap, play 2 short notes in rhythm, then release the Tap button. The MPX 100 automatically calculates the tempo from the space between your two notes. Many factory programs are stored with their own tempo rate. You can tap in a new tempo (and store your version in a User location) or set the MPX 100 to always recall the last tempo used and apply it to every program. (See System Mode.) When you select Global Tempo from the MPX 100 System mode, the last tempo tapped in will be applied to all programs with tempo-controlled parameters. (You will know if a program is tempo-controllable because the Tap button LED will flash when the program is loaded.)
