The Tappy is a standalone controller for the Electric Druid TAPLFO3. It has three separate control outputs: optical, resistive, and VCO. It was designed as a tap-tempo plug-in for the mbp Glasshole phaser project but can be used in other effects as well. The Tappy has the same design as the Wavelord tremolo project but without the tremolo portion.

The controls on the Tappy include:

– Tap: Sets the quarter note pulse based on the average of two or more taps.
– Rate: Sets the tempo using a potentiometer instead of tapping the BPM.
– Mult: The multiplier sets the quarter note pulse division. It has options for 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, and 4x.
– Depth: Controls the intensity of the effect.
– Dist: Changes the duty cycle to push the peaks or valleys of each waveform to the beginning or end of the cycle. Zero distortion is at 50%.
– Wave: Selects between 8 waveforms per bank.
– Bank: Toggles between bank 1 and 2, giving a total of 16 possible tremolo waveforms.
– LED, LDR, VCO: These are 1/8” isolated jacks for the three possible control outputs. The Glasshole project only requires the LED output, but the LDR output can also be useful.

Overall, the Tappy is a versatile controller that can be used in various effects projects. It offers multiple control outputs and a range of adjustable parameters for customization.
