Tapped time in ms. corrected with

the subdivision factor.

Tap Tempo

The M3000 TAP TEMPO key can control various parameters: Delay time, Decay time, Chorus speed, etc. When you press the TAP key, a Tempo menu pops up. The Tempo menu will disappear a few seconds after the last adjustment has been processed. The TAP key is attached to a default parameter in each effect type. This means that the function of the TAP key changes along with the presets. (See the default list later in this section).

The Tempo Menu

The tempo you tap is always measured in BPM (Beats Per Minute). The Tempo menu is able to recalculate the tapped time into subdivisions of the BPM. Simply set the Tempo menu to the Subdivision you like and tap the BPM on the TAP TEMPO key. You also have the possibility of changing the tempo using the BPM parameter in the Tempo menu. When a preset has been “Tapped”, the parameter attached to the Tap function will be dis- played in BPM in the Tempo Menu.

Tempo BPM

The BPM will display the tapped tempo (BPM is equal to the 1/4 Subdivision). You can also set your tempo with this parameter using the ADJUST wheel.

Subdivision

Sets the subdivision of the tempo. If the subdivision is set to 1/8, the actual tempo will be twice as fast as the tapped time, etc. The following subdivisions are possible:

1 ,1/2 ,1/4 ,1/4T ,1/8 ,1/8T ,1/16 ,1/16T ,1/32 ,1/32T (T for triplets).

Tap/Subdivision

These are read only parameters displaying the Tapped time and the Subdivided time in milliseconds. Tap Time Subdivision is corresponding to the parameter in your preset.

The parameters controlled by the Tap key :

Reverb Decay parameter

Delay Delay time

Chorus Speed

Flanger Speed

Phaser Speed

Tremolo Speed

Press and hold TAP for 3 seconds to learn MIDI tempo (MIDI-Clock).
