I believe at present that if you want to tap in a tempo you have to use (Tap) in in the menu which means one has to hit the footswitch to access the menu, the use (Tap) to tap in the tempo and then use the footswitch to Exit the menu.
It would be useful to have an option to be able to tap in the tempo without having to go through the menu. Maybe something like if bpm=0 then the tempo can be tapped in. If this is already possible please let me know. I have gone through the manual but not found anything.
[edit] I realize that the Exit in the menu signals that the tempo setting is complete. Maybe something like an elapsed time of ~2 seconds with no activity on the switch or pressing another switch could serve the same purpose.
@James Thank you providing this feature. It really helps.
Have you seen the Tap Midi-Clock without menu is now available in the last firmware update ?
Which device are you using your MC6 with? I use mine with an AxeFX II and instead of using the tap tempo message for the switch, I just use a standard CC MSG and set it to 14:0. The switch is always live, so just tap it at any point to set a new tempo.
