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

  1. Change the tempo mode in any of the following ways:
    • Click Tempo Mode in the toolbar.

    • Choose Play > Fixed Tempo Mode.

Result

In follow tempo mode, the tempo for playback and recording is set by tempo marks in the project.

In fixed tempo mode, the tempo for playback and recording is a single tempo, as determined by the Fixed Tempo Mode metronome mark value.
