PL-6 TAP tempo wrong

Hi,

I´v got PL-6 remote for iDR-32. Tap tempo is not what I´m tapping. In editor tempo is fine.

nono it shoud be displaiyng correcetly, although i am not satified with any tapping - even with standalone t.c. delays

no change, display on-off, still tempo something 100 ms faster than I tap

Just a guess but perhaps the PL6 measures the tap time interval from button release to button on so it might depend how long you hold the button down when tapping. Perhaps someone might be able to verify this as I don’t have a PL6 to test this theory?

Hi All

We are aware there is some latency with LED flashing when assigned to tap tempo on a PL device, this is not a problem with audio, only the latency of the flashing LED so you are still be able to tap a correct BPM for the delay using the PL buttons when assigned to tap tempo.

To improve the PL tap tempo latency with reference to the tap tempo on the surface softkeys you could connect your PL device to the PL port on a modular surface if you have this option available.
