1.0 Tap Duration

This control determines how many beats will occur in a tap interval. The default setting (1 beat) is probably adequate for most applications. With the default setting of 1 beat, if the tempo is set to 120 bpm, and the beat value is set to quarter-note, each TAP = 1 quarter-note = 1 beat. Available values are: 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1-8 beats

1.1 Tap Source and Tap Level

Press Load/✱ to toggle between these two controls.

Tap Source allows you to assign the Tap function to any of the PCM 80’s

Internal, MIDI, or MIDI controllers as listed under Patching.

Tap Level allows you to set the level at which the Tap function is triggered.

1.2 Average

This control allows you to average the last 2-8 taps. Higher numbers mean that the response to incoming taps will be more gradual. (The tempo is updated on every tap, but with a value which is the average of the last 2-8 taps.) Higher average values are more useful if you're trying to lock into a pre-recorded track.

1.3 Display

This control allows you to disable the flashing of the Tempo LED. Turn ADJUST to select Off. The Tempo LED will turn off.
