Tempo Increment??

Post by PathosMusic »

Is it possible to change the increment that the tempo changes when using the selector wheel or the up and down arrows?

Right now it changes by 0.01 bpm... thats insanely low for a live performance where I need to be able to go from 70 bpm up to 130 bpm in a matter of 8 bars...

It would be great if it changed by 1 whole bpm :?

yea the thing about the "tempo" knob is that if you are at 120 bpm lets say... but the knob is at the "0" position, it wont increase it from 120, instead it will jump to 0 (or whatever the lowest the knob is).

Once you turn the knob, it jumps to whatever tempo the position the knob is at when being turned... which is a bit dumb if you ask me.

its a bit hard to tap a tempo a little faster than you are playing at currently in my opinion. besides thats alot more time off playing than just increasing the tempo every few seconds.

Can't be changed. I see this mentioned from time to time in the "wishlist" thread. Seems like it should be a pretty easy fix for Korg...

It should totally just be a global settings option. I don't see why its such a big deal to fix.

Who changes tempo by 0.01 bpm anyway ? :roll:
