I forgot to mention that this “Bollie Delay” have a tap-tempo feature that works very well with zynthian. You simply learn the tap-control to some “pad/button” on your MIDI controller and enjoy! Of course, the pad/button must be mapped to CC toggle-action, but today most of MIDI controllers has this feature. If not, you could configure some of the zynthian v4 push-buttons (or any zynthian custom switch).
Does anyone have bollie delay tap tempo working on a custom build? I have a pi4b, touch screen, and m-audio oxygen pro. I can’t figure out how to get tap tempo working.
I have tempo mode set to tap, but can’t figure out which control should be receiving the tap - is it the one called “tap”? I’ve tried sending it various CC msgs but can’t get it to work. I can get TAP to turn on/off, but not generate a tempo setting.
In case anyone else is trying to get this to work, I figured out a workaround and wanted to share.
Note that I am running Oram, so this may be subject to change.
It’s possible setting Bollie Delay > Tempo Mode to Tap works in stable. It doesn’t seem to work in oram, at least in a non-kit build.
What does work for me is setting Tempo Mode to MOD/Host, which makes Bollie pick up the tempo from the system tempo.
Bollie doesn’t however display what the current system tempo is in the Host/Mod-Tempo field.
I found I can set the system wide tap-tempo by going to tempo settings, and setting it to internal.
Then I went into webconfig → midi options - under master key actions, set a CUIA of TAP_TEMPO to a note, and then assign that note to a pad on my controller (pay attention to what master midi channel you are using here)
This allows me to set Bollie’s tempo with a pad tap. I’m not a sequencer guy so I don’t mind using the host tempo settings for this.
