It's audible hum, not sent out electrically.
The transformer creates a magnetic field, which
vibrates the metal casing.
Happens quite often with boxes that have no wall wart.

I haven't done any of this yet, but looks like a very powerful function.
Any MIDI delay can be tap time, provided that
the delay times are on a linear scale. 
Be sure and look over Rainer's excellent description.

What is actually sent is not Note-Ons, or switches, but a Controller value.
The CC number is specified, and the value sent is derived from
the time delay between 2 button presses. 
You define the max delay time(max of 1.2s), and the range of values 
that the device uses.(eg, 0-127, or 0-63)
...so if you wanted you could control longer delay times 
by telling the FCB1010 the there was a fraction of the actual delay
time (say an eighth).
Then you could tap a quarter note and get 2 bars of 4/4
(or whatever).
..or tap the whole 2 bars, and probably still get the right time,
as the FCB1010 divides the time by 2 until its small enough.

Unfortunately, filter sweep times generally have their controls
the  "wrong way round" to be able to tap the sweep time.
...a higher value is a faster sweep.

So the faster you tap, the slower the sweep.
