Temp Tap/Tap Tempo

It would be nice if we had some ability to set the tempo via a tapping mechanisim. On my Korg Triton if I hit the enter key a number of times the tempo will adjust to my tapping. Can this be done in a future revision of Orion?

I think it's already on OP Joe-Joe? I believe Jouni stuck it in on 7.62 with F12 'velocity' features and such - or I could be wrong? I'm still on 7.61 here, but check the Metronome features on 7.62. I could've sworn it's been implemented already... Or saw Rich mention it for OP8 somewhere.

Nope, don't see any tap-tap option to set tempo in Metronome settings, and F12 key is to turn on/off the virtual MIDI keyboard.

As far as I can see, there's no such thing in Orion... yet. Can't say there won't be.

My bad.:shame: I might've been thinking of XG Works then, as I know it's got one on it's metronome.

Just to point out Joe-Joe, they're not the most accurate I find. I have a RED (hardware) Micro-Sync, XG Works, and SP-808 or something with Tap. Force of habit, I look at the screen when I'm tapping, and see it display 79BPM, 158BPM, 136BPM, and finally 127BPM on my last tap. But know my tapping got messed up watching the numbers change so erratically. So would be nice for Rich or other Tap Tempo dev's to make the display only on the forth beat. (maybe some already do?)
