Amplitude X-Time delay: Long noodle (& BPM rant)

I wanted a delay that I could control by manually setting a BPM rate. I have plenty of rate-knob delays, tap tempos delays and a a MIDI-clock controlled delay. But there's nothing like a full workstation-style delay where you can dial in a BPM rate. Unfortunately the X-Time isn't it. I was astonished to discover (and have confirmed by their support people) that you can't display BPM. The options are millseconds or time divisions of either a global set BPM or incoming clock.
That means the primary reason I bought this machine is lost. Of course the obvious answer is that I should have done my research a bit better. OTOH every complex workstation-style delay I've ever heard of can display BPM. Weird. Maybe it'll be addressed in an update.
In the meantime I thought there was still some value in watching a noob flub about with the different modes and also butchering some presets.
In short, this is not a performance machine, it's a preset machine. Craft your sound, store it, then recall it.
If delays were people then the Erica Synths Zen delay would be your wild but happy friend; the X-Time would be the grumpy uncle who works at Microsoft.

Bei diesem Delay Gerät - hübsch aber dieser leicht old fashioned Look - vermisse ich etwas das dreckige vom Zen Delay. Aber so soll es sein - es macht trotzdem eine gute Figur :-)

[@RichardDeHove]

Ich hätte es fast nicht gekauft, weil es grün und hässlich war. Aber der Preis war gut und die Funktionen schienen ausgezeichnet. Jetzt ist es wieder in seiner Box bereit zum Verkauf :/

As a user of sequenced instruments and a lover of delay pedals, being able to sync by simply inputting a BPM avoids so much hassle with trs midi etc. DD 500 forever imo. But thank you for validating my personal peeve.

[@RichardDeHove]

That's a peeve we share! I just love delay pedals, but if it has a screen then it should be able to show BPM. Clock sync just isn't the same.
