Right. Actually tap tempo is a better option, as it'll allow more precision in controlling the speed, especially for things like rubato where there's some flex to the tempo.

But there would have to be a range setting that you could change. Otherwise the range would be from 10 to 480 bpm... Yikes! Making small and precise changes would be impossible.
