Tap Tempo From Midi Question

[payanr]

Hi Guys :

I'm a big fan of the ECLIPSE but I'm kind of stock here.

The idea is to control the tempo from a boss footswitch (thru a GCX Midi Footswitch)

This is the picture :

I'm controlling the Eclipse w/ GCX Ground Control (Midi pedalboard) and this pedalboard has a Expression pedal input…I just bougth a BOSS footswitch (Momentary) and connected TO the GCX, configured inside the pedal so he can transmit the tapping to… let's say CC# 011 OK?

Now, I just want the Eclipse to listen to CC# 011 for the global tempo…easy uh?

Thanks for your time.

 Very easy!

You can connect the footswitch directly to Eclipse and use it as Tip or Ring for Tap tempo. Or you can study the Eclipse manual which perfectly describes how to control parameters from CC messages.

First you need to patch an External to CC #11. Then you'll patch that external to tap tempo. Done.

I'm trying to set the
global tempo of the Eclipse via MIDI using a momentary MIDI foot
switch, without much luck. Well, obviously, I'm doing something
wrong. I've reset the Eclipse to it's factory settings, and then set
it up with the following configuration:

Setup–>MIDI–>Channel:
1

Setup–>Externals–>Ext#3–>Source:
MIDI Single

Setup–>Externals–>Ext#3–>Channel:
base+0

Setup–>Externals–>Ext#3–>Cntrl:
con: 12

Setup–>Tempo–>Tap
Src: ext3

Setup–>Tempo–>Mode:
Global

MIDI CC word values sent
to the Eclipse for a tempo of 100 BPM on channel 1: 012, 100 from the
MIDI foot switch.

If anyone can let me know
the error in my setup, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks very much!
