[Feature Request] : Tap Tempo
[Feature Request] : Tap Tempo
I could not find this in the manual. Please correct me, if I missed the instructions.
If its not a feature, please consider adding tap tempo. Not all samples are one shots and I want to set the correct tempo. The file name does not scroll so the BPM is not visible in the file name. Thank you.

Re: [Feature Request] : Tap Tempo
Agreed, would love tap tempo -- my current workaround is setting tempo by tapping a pad in a drum kit for a few phrases, and hitting capture midi to approximate tap tempo. It tends to double my desired tempo so I have to halve it by setting it in the tempo menu -- you can access it by holding shift (triple dots) and pressing the 5th step on the step sequencer.
A quick idea for tap tempo implementation could be just holding shift and hitting the tempo button until you hit the desired tempo.

I just wanted to voice my support for this request. Also, as mentioned, file names do not scroll, making it impossible to read the bpm. Scrolling filenames would be another very helpful feature.

[Feature request]: Tap tempo!
Hi, it would be great for the purpose of hybrid sets to be able to tap tempo somehow instead of having to clock in a bpm value. it would make a huge difference to my sets! Thanks

Re: [Feature request]: Tap tempo!
So, I figured it out. You just tap any pad a couple of times and then capture -> tempo set…dennispouka wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2025 4:20 pmHi, it would be great for the purpose of hybrid sets to be able to tap tempo somehow instead of having to clock in a bpm value. it would make a huge difference to my sets!

That's different, but that's an ok workaround in some situations.jeanvoyage wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2025 10:15 pmSo, I figured it out.
