WonderEcho or other delay-ensembles: Tap tempo per Midi possible?

    Hello! I use WonderEcho as delay-ensemble. The effect/ensemble is very convincing and good.
    Do you know, if it is possible to control the tempo of the delay with a midi-pedal-button?
    I did not find the function (tap tempo button) in this ensemble.
    (As DAW, I use Reaper).
    Perhaps, it is not possible to tap the delay-tempo in WonderEcho, but perhaps, someone knows another Reaktor-ensemble being able to do this.

    PS: Is it possible to contact makers of ensembles directly?

    Yes, I downloaded most of these delay-units; but they also have no tap-tempo-button. :-(
    Otherwise, they are great, too.

    maybe I should implement tap tempo - doesn't sound too difficult (famous last words:))

    I suppose one problem might be the potential for inaccuracy due to MIDI...

    EDIT:
    Another issue for me is whether to try and apply the tapped tempo to read position, 'tape' speed, or to some arbitrary combination of both... heh, starting to get more tricky...

    We kind of got around a tap tempo kind of thing once using an old piezo sensor a HID to MIDI converter.
    Though you could just use your keyboard.
    Take a look at the Frequency Divider in event Processing.

    Ill take a look later and see if I can dig it out.

    The rounds delay gate feature uses a tap tempo macro, adding a button controlled by midi to fire the gates would give you the effect you want, or maybe you could repurpose the tap macro for the ensemble you’re using.
