HX Stomp tap tempo time limit?

[tedfrelke]

I like to do long delays and slow swirls and the HX Stomp doesn't seem to want to slow the tempo enough. Is there a limit on how low you can go with the taps? I am talking about 1-2 seconds between taps. My Echo Park does it so I know Line 6 is capable. 

 

Thanks for the help and happy playing.

There are some delay models that have lower maximum delays times. The HX BBD delays, for instance, max out at 400ms, I believe. So even you tap longer time, the maximum delay time will be set to the next smallest note division that works with the tempo you tapped in.

 

The longest tempo you can tap in is 40 BPM, so if you have the delay time set to 1/4 notes, that translates to 1.5 seconds. If you want longer than that, you’d need to select a longer note subdivision.

Thanks for the reply. 

When you say the longest tap tempo is 40ms, I'm guessing you meant 400, which is still less than half a second. That seems super short. Is there a way to expand that? Maybe in a future firmware update?

 

Thanks again!

I meant 40 BPM... I edited my original post to correct that. So at 40 BPM, a quarter note is 1.5 seconds.

That makes sense. 40bpm should work for most of my needs. I'll try some different delays. 

 

Thanks again.
