temp tap/note repeat problem.

im got a lil trouble with the tap tempo button on my xl...........it doesent seem to work. when i try to tap to a beat that i hear the tempo wont NEVER CHAGE to what im tapping, it will only change if i tap real fast, and then its very inacurate. i had 2 xls over the past 3 years , and its the same thing on both, what am i doing wrong? please help.

I don't have mine in front of me but I'm pretty sure there are some settings to change it's sensitivity. Maybe that's it? Did it work before?

i recently learned how to really use this button. i get the tempo right 85% of the time now in one try!

i dont tap while the beat is playing. i just hit one of the pads with a sample on it and tap to the beat of the sample. you really only need to tap the button like twice to get the tempo. not sure why yours isnt working. maybe cause the beat is playing while you do it?

not sure man.

yeah, i think theres a sensitivity setting somewhere you gotta change from 2 to 4. dont have xl no more though

As others have said, you can set how many taps it will average over to compute the tapped tempo. That's one thing. Another thing I've found is that it works better if I 'click' the tempo rather than 'tap' it. What I mean by that is, I don't lift my finger off the button while I click out the tempo. This feels like it gives me more control over when the button gets triggered, at least. (this is on a 1K too, the same technique may not help on the XL)

Works the same way, that's what I used to do.
