Hi Fredo,
Tap Tempo issue you may have the answer too…
Several of us here on the GM 36 forum are using MIDI foot controllers other than the H & K FSM-432. A few of us are using the Line 6 HD500X multi-effects/MIDI foot controller which has a dedicated Tap Tempo button/foot-switch; however none of us can get the Tap Tempo to work at all regardless of which MIDI foot-controller we’re using.
**Interesting note: I also own the H & K FSM-432 and Tap Tempo works fine with it. I did a test with a MIDI learn software program on the FSM-432 so I could see which CC# its Tap Tempo switch was transmitting. When I press the Tap Tempo foot-switch on the FSM it transmits the CC# 36, however the manual says CC# 4 should be used to set delay times. The manual DOES NOT mention any additional values needed other than CC#4. Since you wrote the PC/Mac software which is an excellent tool (Thank you!) we here on the forum are all hoping you can shed some light on how to get Tap Tempo working as you did in the software app.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the HD500X edit software which shows the parameter fields available.
*MIDI Channel – currently set to 1
*Message Type – currently set to CC
*CC# – currently set to 004 (per the manual to set delay times)
*Value – (range goes from 000 – 127) not sure what to put here? Also, is this the only other item that needs to be set for Tap Tempo to work?
Lastly, I’m assuming that it shouldn't matter which MIDI controller someone uses as long as all values are correct, is that a fair assumption? Some guys are using the HD500X as I am, others the Voodo Lab Ground Control, etc.
Thanks so much for any guidance you can provide us…
