Sorry to revive this old thread, but I couldn't resist posting this.... I had the chance to look inside a Keeley Delay workstation, and from what I could tell, it uses one of the ADC inputs for the tap tempo switch, and a pot for the delay. And, one of the DACs for the LED. So I assume the pot vs tamp_tempo selection is done also inside the FV1. same for the subdivisions in the delay that supports them.

That technique has been used from a long time, TRex uses it also on the Replica 2. I used it a lot with a little algo to transition from Tap Tempo to Pot when the pot is moved or the tap used, all in the FV1. Works really well and you don't have to loose a pot that are scarce in the FV1.
