Tap Tempo not working correctly

  • Hi,


    I used to play in browse-mode and never had issues with the tempo i tapped for a song. But recently I went over to use the performance-mode with one performance for each song.. with tempo set correctly.
    Last gig we did a spontaneous song.. for this case i have an "default" perfomance with my basic sounds. The song was 160bpm and i tapped it a few times. While playing i thougth, i messed up something with 3/16 delays and 4/16 delays settings.
    After the song i checked the kemper: All delay-times set correctly but the performance-tempo said 145 bpm. My first thought: oh shit, tapped way out of tempo :-).


    But then i tried it again: tapping constantly in 160bpm and watching the performance tempo: Sometimes its around 160 (+-3 bpm which really wouldn´t matter in live situation). But many times it jumped to something at 140 ... or sometimes to something close to 180. one time even at 200-something.


    tried this at the button on the remote AND the button on the kemper - and i tried it at two kempers: at that one at the venue and at my own at home. Same behaviour everywhere.
    both on 5.0.3 release.


    In browse-mode this works very well... but in performance mode it feels like the kemper is so busy, that it doesn´t handle the taps correctly.
    It sometimes is way of tempo when just tapping 2 times.


    anyone observed something similar?

    Doesn´t matter if i tap 2, 3, 4 times or constantly... there are way too many wrong tempos.
    It is just luck if it is right, when you stop tapping.

  • I faced this issue yesterday when trying to dial presets for my old cover band which we are playing again after few years. I need one preset which has really hard, like shutter type tremolo with max depth running on 16th notes. I noticed that it is almost impossible to get the tempo right. After some tries I can get it right, but I don't have time for that during the show. Also, if I don't get the tempo right, that hard tremolo will sound horrible :(


    I never had that issue when I was using similar sound with Line 6 M13 some years ago.
