Firmware 1.12 does support Tap Tempo

Firmware 1.12 does support Tap Tempo

2009-10-24 by gastric123

I just finally upgraded my BOSS VF-1 from 1.00 to 1.12 and wanted to confirm for everyone that 1.12 does in fact support tap tempo. Here's what I did to test it.

* Connected momentary foot switch (happens to be connected to Switch 1 from my Behringer FCB1010)
* In UTILITY I set CTRL 1 to Assignable
* Set a stereo delay to use BPM divisions (quarter on left, whole on right)
* Set Assign 2 = Master BPM, min/max = 40/250, Source Type = CONTROL1, Source Mode = NRM(TAP), min/max = 0/127

That's it! 

You can scroll to the Master section of your patch to view BPM for the patch, and tap in the tempo using quarters, and watch the BPM value change with your tapped tempo. Audibly, the delays are changing tempo as well. I checked it against a metronome and it seemed spot on based on the BPM displayed on the VF-1.

WOOT!
