expression pedal with tap tempo
April 05, 2008 - 01:45 pm
im considering purchasing an timefactor but have a simple question before i purchase.
i want to be able to use an expression pedal solely to control the feedback of the delay, simple right. well my question is: can i set up the expression pedal to control just feedback and use the tap tempo function to set the tempo simultaneously for both heel down and toe down.
if im playing a set and want to change tempo on the fly i don't want to have to do it twice.
i hope this makes sense.
thanks.
I use a boss fs-5u via aux switch to set the tempo and an m-audio expression pedal to control feedback and other parameters. Great set-up and vey flexible too.
If you set the Expression Pedal to control just Feedback, then that is all it will control. You can then use an Aux Sw to tap in the tempo and it will stay the same, heel up or down.
In Bank Mode, you need an Aux Swto tap in the tempo. In Play Mode you can use the Tap Tempo Switch.
The expression pedal on the timefactor does not work like the Line6 pedal at all (thankfully). In the Line6 DL4, the expression pedal morphs between two preset settings, whereas the Timefactor works like a conventional expression pedal should (i.e. varying a single, or multiple parameters within a single preset).
That said, if you do not change the delay time knob(s) while assigning the expression pedal, you will have a constant tap-tempo for both heel up/down.
