Global Tap Tempo, Anyone?

I love my M13.  The Line 6 guys have done a bang up job with the product and the firmware updates.  However, when I'm in scene latch mode I would love a setting that would make it possible to keep the tempo the same as I switch between scenes.  Any idea if this might be in the works for the next firmware update? 

 

Am I the only one that thinks that this would be beneficial.

 

Thanks,

JV

    I know that guys like the seperate tap tempo, but I agree with you that it would be nice to be able to switch between global and seperate.

    + 1

     

    It's a feature I already asked for, time ago. I hope it will be included because for some setups it is indispensable.

    This would be a wonderful option. I am doing much improvised music, so I often do not know which scene I will use next. This would help very much.

    Re: Global Tap Tempo, Anyone?

    I'm glad some others feel the same way.  I lead worship and trying to turn more than one effect on and off at the same time is extremely hard when you're singing lead.

     

    We also use Ableton Live quite a bit and I would like for Live to trigger my different scenes without changing the tempo.  I can then focus more on what I'm doing from a leading aspect and focus less on the technical crap during the songs.

     

    I use a lot of tempo sync'd delay stuff and, in most cases, I'm using one delay on an eighth delay and another on a dotted eighth delay.  Unfortunately, this means that I need to be able to turn on/off both delays at the same time.  This forces me to use an entire scene to do this, but I wouldn't mind it if the tempo remained constant while switching through scenes.

     

    Thanks,

    Jamie

    I am using in scene mode and when I'm switching scenes, I also switch channels on my amp.

     

    Whenever I change sounds i lose the tap tempo as I change scene.

     

    There should be a setting to use "global" or "scene" tempo. Can be a global setting of the unit or on scene level. I'd prefer global.

     

    Please Line6, this is an important feature, we love the M13 but this should be configurable!!

    Re: Global Tap Tempo, Anyone?

    I don't think that there's really any need to do away with scene specific tempos, but an override option would be a serious upgrade for those of us who like to take detours in the music and need to remain at a constant tempo...

     

    Feature Request sent... Please, everyone should send requests for this!!!

    Count me in.

     

    The M13 is THE multiFx I was looking for, but there's still room for some improvements, and global tempo is one of them.

    I realized this when I started using more than one scene, since at first I was using just one basic scene, good-old-stombox-style.

     

    I haven't tried syncing with external clock (MacBook Pro running Live or something else), but I don't think it's a good solution for live work. I prefer all-hardware for that kind of situation.

     

    I've already filled the request so, let's hope Line6 is listening (and working it).

    +1 here too.  Trailing delay tails/EFX between SCENE switching would be helpful too.  This would allow smoother use of multiple scenes within one song.  Kinda clunky now.

      Re: Global Tap Tempo, Anyone?

      Yeah, that would be cool too... never thought about it. Trails between scenes would be a great addition.

       

      But, is it even possible to fix that with a firmware update?

       

      Maybe that's a feature requiring more DSP power (like the GSP1101 that uses 2 AudioDNA to achieve this). As I understand, when you switch scenes you are wiping all models and loading everything from start, so maybe the trails thing would require a different approach to it.

       

      I hope not and we actually get all these great ideas come to life on the next (hopefully soon) update.

        Re: Global Tap Tempo, Anyone?

        Yeah, everyone works differently, but I (my band) try to be as seem-less as possible between songs.  Most of the time our transitions are not noticeable.  Stopping and resetting scenes/FX will not always work without creating that hiccup.  I'm working on having crucial transition songs/sounds all within one scene/bank and only changing when there's a long enough break between songs.  A more seem-less transition/flow between scenes would really open up the unit to be used to full potential.  Then again, maybe I should just become a bass player...
