Using the Tap Tempo function
“Tap tempo” is a function that lets you specify the delay time of a delay effect or the modulation
speed of a modulation effect by striking a key at the desired interval. The Tap Tempo function
can be used for delay-type and modulation-type effects in which the BPM parameter is
included, and specify the delay time or modulation speed. To use the Tap function, you must
assign Tap Tempo to a USER DEFINED key, and then operate that USER DEFINED key.
NOTE
For details on the parameters of each effect type, refer to the QL Data List (End of Manual).
