Changing the tempo mode

You can switch the tempo mode at any time between using a single fixed tempo and following tempo changes, for example, if you have a project with multiple tempo changes but want to use a single fixed tempo when recording MIDI.

Procedure

Change the tempo mode in any of the following ways:
  • In any mode, click Fixed Tempo Mode in the toolbar.

  • In Play mode, choose Play > Fixed Tempo Mode.

Result

Follow tempo mode is active when Fixed Tempo Mode in the toolbar appears highlighted, and when no tick appears beside Fixed Tempo Mode in the Play menu.

Fixed tempo mode is active when Fixed Tempo Mode in the toolbar is not highlighted, and when a tick appears beside Fixed Tempo Mode in the Play menu.
