Create Delay Designer taps in Logic Pro for iPad

You can create new delay taps in two ways: by recording them in real time or by manually adding them.

The fastest way to create multiple taps is to record them in real time. If you have a specific rhythm in mind, you can quickly tap out your pattern.

Taps are assigned letters, based on their order of creation. The first tap to be created is assigned as Tap A, the second tap is assigned as Tap B, and so on. Once assigned, each tap is always identified by the same letter, even when moved in time, and therefore reordered. For example, if you initially create three taps, they are named Tap A, Tap B, and Tap C. If you then change the delay time of Tap B so that it precedes Tap A, it is still called Tap B.

Record taps in real time

In Logic Pro, tap the Tap Record button repeatedly.
Delay repeats (taps) are created at the exact moments in time of each of your finger taps, adopting the rhythm of your pattern.
Note: When you initially tap the Tap Record button, it automatically erases all existing taps.
To finish tap recording, tap the Last Tap button.
The final tap is added, ending tap recording, and assigning the last tap as the feedback tap (for more information about the feedback tap, see Delay Designer feedback parameters).
Note: If you do not tap the Last Tap button, tap recording automatically stops after 10 seconds or when the 26th tap is created, whichever comes first.

Create a tap manually

In Logic Pro, tap the Add Tap button.
A tap is created, named, and positioned automatically. Automatic positioning is in accordance with the Grid pop-up menu value. You can manually adjust the tap position with the Tap Time knob.
