•
Tempo Response: Sets the sensitivity to tempo changes: the larger the value, the greater the
sensitivity. You should set this value to 4, for most situations. If you find that your tap timing
is imprecise, but want Logic Pro to play at a relatively constant tempo, reduce this value to 2
or so.
•
Max. Tempo Change: Use this parameter to set the maximum tempo change possible per tap
(in bpm). To obtain the most regular, or even tempo curve, follow this rule: set the smallest
possible value (in other words, only as large as necessary).
•
Tap Count-In: Sets the number of taps used as a count-in. Logic Pro starts following the tempo
on the first tap after the count-in taps.
•
Smoothing: Turning on this function smooths out jumps in tempo, resulting from incoming
taps (which could prove useful when using Logic Pro live). You should turn it off if you want
Logic Pro to follow your taps precisely and quickly.
•
Tempo Recording: Creates a tempo list that follows your taps, when in record mode. This option
should normally be turned off.
•
Pre and Post: Determine which tap signals are displayed:
•
Pre: Displays every incoming tap.
•
Post: Displays every accepted tap that occurs within the time window (as defined by the
Window parameter), or close to, or on, a tap step.
The Pre/Post tap signals flash yellow if the taps are within the allowed range, and red if they
are out of range.
Note: Only the selected software instrument track, and all external MIDI tracks, can play when the
Tempo Interpreter window is open.
