just have two quick questions about XT:
Has tap tempo been implemented yet?
Does XT support midi out for hardware control?
Thanks!

No
yes
There are some threads about how to do a workaround for tap tempo. If you do a search you'll find it. Let me know if you don't.

But you can use NicFit's midiout plugin to send midi out to another device.

soma, wow.....those XT midi plugs look great!
unfortunately, I found lots of "tap tempo" threads but I didn't see anything definite as far as a solution. Running another app and having to manually type in a tempo isn't going to be efficient enough for me.
can you show me the link of what you are talking about?
having a tap tempo for me is crucial. I play with a live band and I am currently using Brainspawn Forte as my vst host. Just recently I purchased some hardware and, unfortunately, Forte doesn't support midi out. About a year ago I checked out XT and I loved it but not having a tap tempo killed it for me.

You need this little plugin in I made.
And you nned to setup your sequencer in live mode.
Then assign the tempo to a CC.
download my plug and the example here:

Great idea. Why didn't I think of that? (I mean: applying existing products to solve a problemsoma wrote:But you can use NicFit's midiout plugin to send midi out to another device.

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I really don't get the tempo tap thing.
I don't need it while sequencing but for live things.
So it'd be completely irrelevant whether the sequencer was playing anything or not.
I only want to change the tempo (via CC taps) so tempo-synced FX (mainly delays) will stay in sync.
Is there any easy setup for that?
I allready downloaded somas example but couldn't even find out how to control the damn thing (man, I feel so stupid...).

I hope this gets implemented in the future. Something along the lines like ableton live where you tap it for a bar and the sequencer starts on the 1. Hopefully it can be assigned to a midi note also.

As said, I don't need any sequencer to start.
I need some VST host which I can run my amp sims, synths and further FX in, all nicely syncing to some tapped tempo. I'm a guitar player and want to create some nifty custom setup - which is possible allready with the exception of things syncing properly...
In Cubase you have to bring up the beatmapper window first - completely impossible in a live situation.
In Logic I'm getting syncronisation errors galore and it'll also bring itself into play mode automatically (which must not be a bad thing).
Tobybears MiniHost doesn't allow for any such a thing and it's too limited anyways.
Chainer doesn't offer any tempo operations...
So my hope was all with eXT and somas plugin, but I can't seem to understand a single thing.
Anybody knows about Bidule?
Really, I don't even need any sequencing abilities. Would be eternally grateful for any tips.

hey Sascha,
look at Forte http://www.brainspawn.com/ it's exactly what you need. stable as a rock and i gig with it regularly. tap tempo.....etc etc...
for me it is a godsend. really built for the live player in mind
and you can use eXT in it as well.

Maybe keep an eye on this in the future:

works also with 3rd party plugins.

Thanks for the Forte tip, seamoss. Will give it a try later on (theatre gig ahead...). Does it offer tap tempo via some MIDI controller? I mean, I have to have my hands on the guitar...
Yeah, paradiddle, I allready *do* keep an eye on Kore.

Sascha-
I don't have time to explain but I made a setup specifially for you.
http://home.comcast.net/~soma720/TapTempo.ext
Just replace the VST with your own.
IF you need to tap tempo via a midi keyboard too, just let me know. It's easy.
(In the tempo layer, you need to connect midi to the Tap Tempo Alpha).
Brief explanation:
Tempo layer sends tempo info via CC from tap_t_a to a Live sequener with tempo mapped to CC1 (range 10-250).
Your main XT is hosted by that sequencer. It's tempo is controlled by it's host, the live sequencer. the live sequencer's tempo is controlled by the tap tempo alpha.
