Rather than doing hard sums, on a PIC it makes sense to do this weighting by using bit shifts (so choose from weights of 1, 0.5, 0.25, or 0.125!!).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">However, if you’re likely to use the tap tempo input for syncing the delay to incoming tempos from a drum machine or sequencer or similar, then just measuring the last two pulses and using those only makes the thing much more responsive. You don’t need to worry for a delay, but for my tap tempo LFOs, I also needed to think about the phase, and it’s important to reset or adjust the phase so that the LFO waveform is on the beat, not just in time.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
