Inquiry on how to set tap tempo of mpx1

Hi, I'm using a lexicon mpx1 and a tc g-force,
and I'm controlling the two devices through a voodoolab gcp.
I assigned a cc value to button 8 on the gcp to control the tap tempo, and I made sure that the tap tempo control was working by matching the cc value's MIDI channel. However, the MIDI input LED on the mpx1 lights up in the same way as the 8th button on the gcp is tapped,
but the tempo LED only inputs once per two taps. For example, 120 bpm is recognized by the g-force, and 60 bpm is input by the mpx1.
I've read the manual several times and searched for related articles online, but I couldn't solve it, so I'm making this inquiry. If anyone knows how to set it up, please help me.
 
So Your Saying The MPX Is Displaying 60 BPM
When Your Setting A 120 BPM Tempo With The MPX?

Is The Tempo Average Set To 1/4 Note Or 1/2 Note On The MPX?
The MPX Is A Beast With MIDI, I Know That.
MIDI Its Self Is Easy, But Lexicon MIDI Is A Beast.
Everything On The Front Of The MPX Is Programmed
With Normal MIDI. Almost Everything, The Knobs, Buttons, ETC.
I Had To Use A Full Time MIDI Monitor To See What The
MPX Was Sending Out. A Lot Going On Too.

I Have The MPX1 And A Rocktron All Access.
I Can Work This Out If You Don't

Yes, that's correct. I am currently using Lexicon MPX1 and TC G-Force, assigning CC value 74 to switch 8 on the Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro (GCP) to transmit the tap tempo to G-Force and MPX1. When G-Force is set to 120bpm, MPX1 is consistently set to exactly half, at 60bpm. However, when tapping the GCP switch, the MIDI input signal indicator LED shows that both G-Force and MPX1 receive the signal simultaneously, but the tap tempo LED on MPX1 only lights up once out of the two input signals. I've attempted to resolve this issue by changing the MIDI beat value on MPX1 from quarter to half and even eighth notes, but there was no change. Additionally, adjusting the tap source level and the MIDI CTL smooth value in the system settings did not result in a solution.
 
Okay, This Is A Better Understanding To Trouble Shoot.
I Will have To Think This Out And Look Over G-Force
And MPX1 Manual Real Good.

At This Point Of Looking In Manuals, The G-Force Is Not As Advanced
As The MPX By Far. I Would Say The MPX Is The Issue.
And I Will Look At That Baby Too.
The MPX Has A Lot Going With MIDI The G-Force Can't Use.
The MPX Trouble Shooting Will Be More Harsher Then Not.


Something To Look AT.
Go To UTILITY Menu On G-Force.
Turn Off "Tuner MIDI OUT".
Just A Wild Hunch.
But This Setting Only For TC ELECTRONIC G-Minor Tuner

I Just Found This Little Jem In G-Force Manual.
I Don't Think This Is It. But .........
Override preset tempo at preset change
Controls whether the tempo should be influenced
instantaneously at preset changes or if the new preset
should await the next tapped tempo.
Example: You are using a preset with a straight 1/4 note
delay, and you tapped the tempo into the G-Force, let’s say
120 BPM, meaning that you have tapped a Global Tempo
of 500 ms. Now you change preset, and the new preset is
suppose to use 1/8 triplets. Do you want the preset to use
the existing tempo right away, or do you want the preset to
wait for the next tapped tempo.?
Selecting Yes, will enable the presets to use the tempo
instantaneously at preset changes.

This Is More Of A Style Of MIDI I Put Together With Digitech GSP 2101 And Digitech PMC-10.

What This Is A Complex Way Of Controlling Two Or More
MIDI Strings (From Controller) Being Sent Out On One "Preset".
With A Few CC's (And Maybe PC's) Being Sent Out.


1: Preset Has A User Made Preset With ALL Settings STORED.
Recall this preset at start of session or gig, what ever. Don't Use MIDI.
Use The Scroll Wheel Or What Ever.
2: Same Preset Gets CC's Switched On, Off, etc With Foot Controller
3: Same Preset With Opposite Settings Of #2 Above, Like Clean To Dirty, etc
So What This Dose Is Gives You Three "Presets" From Two MIDI Strings
On The Same Preset. Very, Very Simple Means Of Controlling MIDI On
One Loan Preset, I Made This Up To TEST My MIDI Rack. Pure Magic.
#2 And #3 Above Are Tricky To Understand, But Making One Small
Change To Make Sure You Hear 2 From 3 Is Needed.
This Has More To Do With Controller Then Rack MIDI.
More Like A MIDI Training Camp To Be Honest.

I Will Look Deeper At MPX Manual Now.
I Have A Stack Of Lexicon (MPX1) Manuals.
