1188 –– DDeellaayy GGrriidd sseettttiinnggss

such as 1/4, 1/8 etc., or a sub-division combined with a “dot” or “triplet” value.
1199 ––
DDeellaayy FFoorrmmaatt:: BBPPMM oorr mmiilllliisseeccoonnddss
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.
2200 –– TTeemmppoo SSyynncc oonn//ooffff
When you set this parameter to “On”, the plug-in’s tempo will be synchronized to the
host tempo. If you set it to “Off”, its tempo can be set independently from the host.
2211 –– TTeemmppoo iinnddiiccaattoorr
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.

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.
2255 –– TToooollss
Three differenttools are available for setting and adjusting parameter values directly in
the tap display. One toolis always selected. To switch between the tools, simplyclick one
ofthe 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.
