    Hi,

    currently no. The metronome click is the only way for you to know which tempo you are tapping your search groove in, since it is freely adjustable in Tap2Find.

    Thanks–this makes sense.

    But one thing I’m not clear about is the adjustment, which is shown as a percentage: What does that represent, the % of the default tempo (like 120 bpm)?

    I wish that you could just tell it the bpm you want and then tap the part.

    Maybe I’m missing something.

    It’s a percentage of the Tempo the standalone/plugin is at currently.

    Not sure what this means. I just opened it standalone. By default the tempo knob is shown at 12 o’clock (100%). If I move it to 80%, what is that 80% of? In other words, is there a default tempo?

    OK–that’s what I wanted to clarify and is very helpful. Thanks.

    agreed illogical to compete with a click.

    ex. listening to a song over monitors on you tube very difficult to tap in a tempo with a click that is already in progress. or is there a way to shut the click off and start it when you want it to begin .

    Seems like a somewhat bizarre way of using Tap-To-Find, considering that you can tap in a tempo on the timeline and play to whatever is in on your monitors on it for as long as you need without a metronome. You can then chop the most best part of it and then use that region in Tap-To-Find by right-clicking on it and then building your groove another track (you have as many as you need in this case).

    Can’t turn off the metronome? Or at least turn it down? RIDICULOUS. I know the beat I want but I want EZ Drummer to give me some variations. Can’t tap it in with the frickin metronome going since it sound like another hit just going off. Is it so hard just put in an on/off button? Just one more annoying thing about EZ Drummer. Not so EZ I guess…

    EZ Drummer 3 has a grid. You can tap your beat into there regardless of the metronome.  Nothing difficult about it.

    What? How does that answer the problem? I want to use the tap2find function without a frickin’ metronome blasting my face off. I don’t want to point and shoot a beat into a grid like some sequencer jockey. Maybe you’ve gone totally paint by the numbers but I still like to PLAY my drums.

    Why can’t they just have it sync with the DAW’s tempo?

    Hi, while on the Tap2Find page, you can open the Settings > Metronome and switch the output to something you do not use or just pull down the faders. If you need the Metronome again, you visit these settings again.
