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).
