Accurately Changing Tempo on the Fly

Post by Pablocruz »

The Tempo knob on the Krome is almost worthless! It is so course and wide ranging that it is nearly impossible to set a tempo within 10 bpm of the desired value. When you try to correct it with the shuttle wheel on the Dec/Inc buttons, they are way too granular.

I've not been able to find anything in the manual about making fairly large rhythm adjustments (plus or minus 20 bpm) accurately on the fly. Is there any way to accomplish this. One BPM per click on the wheel would be acceptable, can you adjust that?
Adios, Pablo

Hey Pablo -

I suppose it partly depends upon your definition of "on the fly".

You can always tap on the tempo indicator in the screen and use the keypad and enter a precise value that way.

You can also tap and hold the displayed tempo, and use the slider which appears for coarse adjustments, or the virtual wheel for smaller.

...neither of which gives you the one click/one bpm adjustment you're looking for. Anyone else?

The Tempo Knob is too sensitive I think. Korg should reduce sensible level for this Knob.

Like I could not choose exact number. Just a little move, the number will fly.

You could try recording the tempo change as an RPPR pattern in the sequencer. Then press the trigger key when you want to change the tempo. Note that I have not tried this so it's just an idea that may or may not work. It's a bit of effort to set up but if it works you would end up with a set of preset tempo's that can be selected with a single key press.
