thomasDS Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have a problem with the helix tap tempo button not responding as it should. This is a problem for a lot of people, when you start reading on the internet. Having owned a DL4, a podxt live and pod HD500 where the tap tempo buttons all reacted well, this baffled me because, hey, technology should be improving over the years... I have been tinkering with that button quite a while and i've become convinced that the problem lies with the touch sensitive buttons. In my experience, the HX unit reads false tempo's when you hold your foot/hand on the button between taps. When you lift your foot/hand, it reacts properly. Unfortunately, I do rest my foot on the button a lot while tapping. Do you think it is plausible that this is the cause of this problem? And if so, is there a way to get rid of the touch sensitivity for this one button? And I mean completely getting rid of it because disabling touch for '"stomp select" in global settings doesn't solve the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malhavok Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Interesting. I only tap with my feet and they aren't bare so no skin contact. I haven't experienced this. Your theory seems plausible. Maybe try wrapping the "head" of that switch with some electrical tape to prevent contact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 The touch sensitive buttons give me a lot of grief on stages and in practice. They trigger when I don't expect it.... for whatever reason. I love the feature, and use it during programming and editing, but during live use - I turn off "touch" in the global settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that would be normal practice. Touch sensitive for programming, off for live use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
