- FX8: ...
Tapping tempo
- The Global menu provides a Tap Tempo mode option. “Average” averages up to the last ten taps. “Last Two” uses only the most recent two taps to determine the tempo.
- When tapping the tempo, the Tempo menu appears. You can specify in the Global menu how long it should stay on-screen.
Tempo LED
- Cliff: "The tempo LED is handled by a low-priority thread so it isn't rock solid and the higher the CPU usage the less solid it will be. The metronome, however, is perfectly accurate." source
Metronome
- Fractal Audio devices can output a metronome signal via the Tempo menu. The metronome plays through Output 1 only. You can start the metronome using an IA switch or through the Tempo menu.
Auto-activating a delay
- If the parameter Auto Delay in the Tempo menu is “ON,” any delay blocks that are bypassed will become active whenever a tempo is tapped in. This allows you to set the tempo and un-bypass your delay block(s) from a single footswitch.
MIDI CCs for Tempo and Metronome
- MIDI CC for Tempo: CC 14.
- MIDI CC for Metronome: CC 122.
Controlling Axe-FX tempo via Sysex
- In some situations it may be desirable to send tempo information to the Axe-FX when changing presets. This reduces the need to maintain many similar presets for songs with different tempos. This Thread provides a list of hexadecimal codes that control Axe-FX tempo. These can be inserted into the MFC-101's Preset Custom MIDI Message field in order to set a desired tempo when a preset is loaded. They can also be used Sysex editors, or with any MIDI controller that has the capacity to send custom hexadecimal messages.
