Dotted or Triplets
Press these buttons to set the grid to either dotted or triplet notes.
19 – Delay Format: BPM or milliseconds
The tempo can be indicated in beats per minute (BPM) or milliseconds. If you change the delay format from milliseconds to BPM, the delay time for each tap will be quantized according to the selected grid. If you do not want this, simply click the UNDO button.

The tempo is displayed either in BPM or milliseconds. If you set the Tempo Sync parameter to “On”, this field will always indicate the current tempo of the song. When Tempo Sync is set to “Off ”, the tempo of the Tap Factory can be entered directly here. Click on the small up/down arrows to increase or decrease the tempo in 1 BPM steps.

24 – Tap Mode
Tempo mode:
In Tempo Mode, you can enter the global delay tempo by rhythmically clicking (tapping) the Tap Pad. Typically you will tap the tempo in quarter notes. Tapping two times is enough, but tapping more times will increase the accuracy (as Tap Factory calculates the tempo as the average of all the taps, not just the last two).
Rhythm Mode:
In Rhythm mode you can enter delay taps as a rhythm.
The restrictions are that you can set a maximum of 24 taps within 9 seconds.
25 – Tools
Three different tools are available for setting and adjusting parameter values directly in the tap display. One tool is always selected. To switch between the tools, simply click one of the three icons.
Selection tool: This is the default selection tool. Use it to select a single delay tap by clicking on the tap. To select multiple taps, press and hold the left mouse button and drag the tool around several delay taps.
Crosshair tool: This tool can be used to adjust parameter values by drawing straight lines in the tap display.
Freehand tool: This tool can be used to draw parameters freely in the tap display.
