request - adjust tenths of BPM

Post by DeeStage »

When you hit the BPM button, you will never get the precise time value between the steps.

For BPM of 128 you will need to tip exactly 469 milliseconds.

Its nearly impossible to to tap this value.

I would like if you could add a feature where we can manually increase or decrease the the time value by 5 ms.
i would prefer it to add ore remove the milliseconds by MIDI.

other request:

I would like to double/half the time in BPM by pressing a button/MIDI Note.
this would be really helpful for building up Sounds before the beat drop comes at electric Festivals.

You can enter the exact BPM value in the text box.

Please make a separate post for the second request.

I’m pretty sure I remember reading in a post that all Time measurements are rounded to the closest .005 seconds. So when you type in a BPM time, the program will internally convert so to seconds and round the figure. So, even if you were to type in a precise value as 127.9 BPM, it would still only be rounded off anyway. I think I remember that they did this to keep the math for the program simple or something like that. I too wish we could have very precise BPM values... I have been resigned to hope it’s something they improve in a version 10.

Yes, our software is not able to manage tenths of BPM.
Sorry for that.
