Tempo and Metronome: 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

Tempo and Metronome: 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.

Tempo and Metronome: 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.

Tempo and Metronome: 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.
