wsw261 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I have searched the web and forum but am not seeing any info on this. I am using the Catalyst 60 CX mostly in manual mode but using the app to select/edit the effects I want to use - mainly delays and modulations with tempo sync. When I bring up a delay, for example, the sync says 1/4 note and I change it to dotted 8th per the app. But when I press the tap tempo button or tap a footswitch, the sync value reverts to 1/4 note. I looked around the app and did not see any manual mode defaults for the effects options. The workaround for delays is to use the dual delay as the dotted 8th is added via the scale setting, but there is not any option like that for modulation effects. Is this how tap tempo in manual mode is supposed to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It works that way in ALL modes. I messed around with it a bit and this is what I found: Each effect has its own default SYNC setting. If you change it, the first time you use TAP from the FS, it stays at your setting. The second time it switches back to the default. If you use MIDI TAP (CC#64 Value 127) the SYNC setting does not revert. Seems like a bug in the way the FS works. I use MIDI which is why I never noticed this. You have three choices. 1- setting the tempo manually in the app doesn't revert the SYNC setting. 2- Report it to support which, considering the fires, may take a while to get a response which will probably be "I'll pass this up to the developers" and that'll be the end of it. 3- Get a MIDI controller. If you're serious about using the functions not available via the panel, this is the way to go. I recommend the Hotone Ampero Control. Relatively inexpensive ($120), small, VERY powerful and relatively easy to program from a smart phone or tablet using BT but has DIN connectors so BT is NOT required during regular operation if you have the Cat100/200. The CX60 will require a full-time USB connection to your mobile device and a routing app such as AUM if you have iOS. IDK what you'd use with an Android device. Maybe Audio Evolution Mobile Studio? You'd also need a HUB so that you can connect both the controller and a charger to keep the mobile device from dying during performance. All of this works great with iOS (tested on my Cat100) but again, IDK about Android - I don't allow them in my house! NOTE - if you want to try this - for programming via BT - my iPhone SE connects fine, but my ancient iPad Air will not connect. BT is weird like that and I'm clueless as to how anything works with Androids. Buy the Ampero someplace with a good returns policy like Amazon or look for a controller that does not require BT but will send multiple commands per press.
