Disabling Tap Tempo on Helix Floor

[MatthewMcGhee]

Is there any way to disable tapping tempo on the foot switch? Every time I try and hold for tuning it changes the tempo. I end having to change presets back and forth.

Unfortunately no. You cant disable Tap Tempo on the Helix.

The tempo only changes if the Helix detects multiple consecutive taps. If you don’t tap the switch but just hold it until the tuner appears the tempo won’t change. Then when you tap to turn the tuner off, just tap once. Again, no tempo change.

Depends how clean are the FS... :)

 

When the switch got a bit oxidated, or old, it start misfiring and throwing switch bouncing noise. (which means tap tempo being set randomly).

 

I had this on both Helix floor and Helix control...

I don't use TAP, so I had to test this, and can confirm what @silverheadsaid.

OTOH, I've had my Helix for six years, and some of the switches that I use regularly are starting to require a FIRM press, else they misfire as @PierMsaid.

Might be time to get it serviced.

you can instead save your tempo delays using milliseconds, that way the tap tempo does not affect what's already saved.   Easy enough to find a conversion chart for the bpm to ms.
