[QUOTE="Branson Sagear, post: 123391, member: 5783"] Re: X32 Discussion I do the exact same thing as you brother... I do a few "practice taps" before I'm ready to start tapping fo reals. That is not an issue with any other digital desk (that I've been on) or an old school piece of outboard like a TC d2. Actually, that's a lie! Now that I think about it, I mixed on a soundcraft si somethingorother that had a weird tap reaction as well... It had the same "averaging" feel as the x32. For example, If I want to tap between a 1/4 note and switch to half note mid way through the chorus of a song, it takes awhile for the delay time to actually change. I just tried this on the x32 windows edit software, and it did exactly what I'm referring to: Tapping along with a 120 bpm 1/4 note click, it goes there right away... 500ms. Then change to an 1/2 note tap, and it takes 4 taps to get it to the desired delay time (1000ms). Change it back to 1/4 note and it takes another 4 taps. This would be fine, if it wasn't for the averaging going on where you get 3 delay times between 500ms and 1000ms. 500, then 630, 760, 890 and then 1000. Those steps in the middle really mess with the sound, especially when feedback is involved. And, it should not take a full bar to change the delay time. I want it to change NOW, not eventually get there a bar from now... [/QUOTE]
