M13 tap tempo and exp. pedal at the same time

Hello.

 

I just bought a line6 M13.  One word... fantastic.  I just wonder about one thing. Would there ever come a version that will be able to handle tap tempo and expression pedal at the same time on the same effect just like it does on the DL4.

I have had a DL 4 since it came to Norway and its still on my pedal board. I'm complitly addicted to the combination of tap tempo and expression pedal at the same time.

Tanks for making life better for a  guitar player.

Hope my question is understandable.

    Can you explain more clearly? Not sure what you are asking.

      If I understand correctly, I think he wants the ability to have a different note value for the delay time saved in the heel and toe positions.  So for example, you could have a quarter-note delay in the heel position and than a dotted eighth note in the toe.

          I'm going to take a shot at this because the way I'm reading it, you could set up the expression pedal to work on the mix control and the tap tempo is controlling the speed of the delay. This would let you increase or reduce the amount of delay with the expression. Off in heel down and how much max at toe down is up to you. You'd then also have anything in between to work with.

    Same here. Can you provide further detail on what you are trying to do and how?

    Ok, now I see.

     

    Unfortunately, there is no way to change the TAP TEMPO note value for an effect on the M13 with the expression pedal. That does not mean that it is not a good idea though. Please submit a Feature Request for this at the following link:

      I think what he is saying is he wants the expression pedal to control the tempo (tap tempo) of a particular delay preset (note value). 

      I think  he doesn't want to change note values just tempo with the expression pedal. After all if he wanted to change note values he could switch to another delay preset.

          Re: M13 tap tempo and exp. pedal at the same time

          I actually think the expression pedal control on the M13 is much better on the DL4.  I used a DL4 for many years on my pedalboard, and one thing that I always hated was that if I tapped in a tempo with the pedal in the heel position, it wouldn't be there in the toe position.  The way it is on the M13 is much more usable for me with the way I use the delays, because I rarely will want to change the delay time with the expression pedal, but I will often want to change other parameters without affecting the time.

           

          That being said, I do see why you would want to do what you're saying.  But I don't think that having a different global tempo for the heel and toe positions would be a good thing unless there was a way to choose not to do it also.

    Re: M13 tap tempo and exp. pedal at the same time

    I totally understand what you're after. I used to use this function all the time on my DL4 and have just got the M9 (which does seem incredible) and find it strange that you can't do this i.e. Using the tap tempo to enter a tempo value but also programming the expression pedal with its own set of values at heel down and toe up. On the DL4 you could enter a tap tempo with the button but as soon as you stepped on the expression pedal the preset would resort to the values that were set with the pedal. It was very useful for chaotic realtime, infinite repat style stuff.

     

    I'm guessing this has not been addressed at all yet?

     

    I know this an old thread but if there's any help out there it'd be much appreciated
