tap tempo to midi?

anyone know of a good tap tempo to midi? i was going to use my lexicon jamman, but the tempo is received as 2778 bpm (or something like that). anyone know of a device -- maybe a delay pedal -- that lets you tap in the tempo, and can also work as the clock to another synth?

I thought about getting one of these for playing arpreggio's live, then I quit the band so didn't bother.

Nope sorry.
No idea.
I'd probably have to import the bugger.

well, the link from that review was dead, as well as the address provided. i have, however, found a few places that seem to retail it new... including...

This is kind of primative but it works really well. Using a calculator, you can get extremely accurate results.

I get a stopwatch and start it on the beginning of a loop or measure and stop it at the exact beginning of the next loop or measure. I do it a few different times to get an idea of the average time. But either way, I take 240 divided by the result to give me BPM.
