Idea tempo led HX Effects

[lckx]

Hi, i wonder if it's a good idea asking the led tap tempo gives the programmed tempo from the preset,

in my case it could be an help for me and my drummer (of course if the led can be seen by the drummer).

from every preset a tempo is programmed for every song for exemple.

 

what about that?

GLOBAL SETTINGS > MIDI TEMPO > PAGE 2 > TEMPO

You can set the BPM to be GLOBAL, PER SNAPSHOT or PER PRESET

 

If you set that to PER PRESET you get exactly what you want. 

Even when set to preset, you still have the ability to tap in a new tempo if the timing drifts, or the song is started in the wrong tempo.

 

Now, if you are asking if this is a good idea? It's great if the drummer is on a click and your tempos are stable, but I sure would't count on it for the reasons you are asking.

• The LED drifts from the actual clock. Many have complained about this... and some just turn the light off altogether as it really bothers them that it drifts. The actual tempo clock stays stable, it's the LED that drifts. In short, don't rely on the LED for timing. 
• If the drummer cannot see it, you can't even get a reliable count in for the song. 
• It's almost impossible to follow an LED when playing... although it's not a bad way to start a song in the ballpark.
