Hello, forgive me for my ignorance, I'm new to the MIDI world.
Is there any way to activate the tap tempo function via midi commands?
For example, i can activate the tuner function by sending the command CC74 0/127. Is there a similar command to open the tap tempo function? I don't want to inform the tempo value, just open the function so I can step on the foot and set the tempo.

You you're willing to tap the footswitch on the pedal, then you may just as well use the footswitch to turn on the TAP TEMPO mode with the footswitch long press. This behavior could be enabled from the pedal (say MS-50G) settings menu: SETTINGS: HOLD FOR TUNER/TAP: TAP TEMPO.

This way, when you step and hold the footswitch, the pedal prompts for the TEMPO -- then you just tap the footswitch and set the desired BPM.

As for the CC, so far there is no known CC or sysex to trigger the TEMPO prompt on the MS pedals. The only functional way to transmit a desired BPM is by sending the whole patch with with updated BPM field.
