More about the Footswitch
You can use the IFS2M (sold separately) as a MIMX30 footswitch controller. If

FX section.

TAP switch
The MIMX provides a TAP switch that you can use to control the speed of the ef-
fects and the rhythm.You might find this somewhat unfamiliar in the beginning, but
soon you'll be able to use it easily and intuitively. By clicking(tapping) this switch
several times(not just twice), you can specify the desired speed. A good rule of
thumb for use is to lightly tap the switch in tempo for a complete measure of the
passage that you are about to play. For those interested in the "technicals", a de-
tailed explanation of how the TAP function detects the average tempo is given
below. A moving average A method called "moving average" is used to determine
the tempo speed via the TAP switch.
For example, if you want to set the Rhythm tempo matched with CD music, it will
be difficult to do it by click the TAP switch only twice.
Four-value moving average (here we will use four values for our explanation)
The average value of the four most recent operations of the TAP switch is used as
the value. This allows any inaccuracies of your actual operation to be absorbed.

Two-value moving average
You will need to press the TAP switch at an accurate rhythm
so that the interval between the first and second presses of
the TAP switch is 60/120 seconds = 0.5 seconds.
The MIMX uses a seven-value moving average. By marking the beats with the
TAP switch, you can obtain a more accurate tempo setting.
