I’ve seen this requested many months ago. A lot of us rely on this to send tempo but the process to have a setlist of tempo is cumbersome. Either you attach the VERY specific tempo to the preset or the bank or you just tap one in. The former requires a computer just to plug in the numbers. The only reason i bring a computer to rehearsal is because there’s no other way to edit these.
The tap menu is AMAZING but not good to use live if youre moving through a setlist because of the amount of taps involved and the time it takes to get the precision needed.
Can I suggest a feature in the tap menu where you can back a set of tempos and edit these from the pedal.
All i want is a list of 10 tempos and be able to edit and cycle through them without the need of a host.
So if I understood correctly, what I’m thinking is something like a “Save to memory” function in the tap menu, where you can save the BPM you just tapped in in the tap menu to a list of 16 slots, for example. And then you want the ability to scroll through this list of BPMs in the tap menu, and also possibly use this values elsewhere in the controller?
@james On the tap menu, you could probably combine Start/Stop into one button (since presumably the device knows whether MIDI clock is currently running or not) to add a “load/save” switch that would let you do the load/recall functions described.
@micahscottadams I tested a user-side version of a tempo preset menu by creating a bank/page full of presets with just two PRESS messages: (1) MIDI clock with the tap tempo on + a predetermined tempo; and (2) a jump back to “previous bank/page or page.”
For example, I had three presets labeled “slow”, “medium”, and “fast.” Whenever another bank called this preset, you could tap to load that tempo, and it would pull up the tap menu to adjust it as necessary, or you could just tap “save and exit” and go straight back the previous bank. Just two taps to pull up a stored tempo that is editable on the device itself if needed. Only bummer was that i couldn’t name each preset the actual bpm, since that could change based on the MIDI Clock message.
