tap tempo

It appears on delays, where it keeps repeats in sync with the groove1, and on the Way Huge Supa-Puss it programs up to three seconds of delay time in real time2. It is also found on other effect types, including tremolo3, autowah4, phasers5, and LFO-controlled effects6. Some designs add selectable subdivisions, such as quarter note, eighth note, and dotted eighth settings7 or tap tempo with subdivisions8.
