BPM Tools: observations, wishes...

[phdsg]

i'm using bpm tools as a tap-tempo clock (and maybe it's not even supposed to work that way).
connecting a midi trigger (pad on my controller) to the clock input then tap a few times (with smooth to the left) and the clock starts ticking.
very nice.
unfortunately the multiplied outs are dead in this configuration.
it seems that they depend on the external clock instead of the internal that was set by the tapping.
the lfo out is fine, so i can use it to clock another bpmtools to get the multiplied clocks.
it would of course be nicer not to have to chain 3 modules and instead let the multiplied clocks use the internal clock as their source.

The BPM Tools were not designed for the purpose of tapping in a rhythm and then keeping it.
However, it is a good idea. It should be possible to freeze a rhythm by turning smooth all the way left.

Indeed, this works for the main clock output. The fact that it does not work for the multiplied outputs is a bug, which I need to fix.

I have to see whether I can tweek the GUI to make space for a "freeze" gate input, which would freeze a given BPM and make it work as a tapped clock.

thx 4 looking into this.
frankly, i don't understand what you mean with "freeze" as it already keeps the bpm just fine after 2 taps.

I don't get this module at all .
Feeding an pulse lfo into it , then disconnecting keeps the bpm counter going on .
Even a gate when no voltage has effect .
Feeding in a master tempo clock , also has strange effets
What determines the tempo ??

Is there a way to stop the output? I have a master clock I'm using and I use BPMtool to multiply it 24x to use with Topology, however, when I stop my master clock, BPMtool just keeps kicking.. I'd like it to stop too!
