Tempo Events
Tempo events can be inserted at the begin-
ning of a session to replace the default
tempo (of 120 BPM), and they can be in-
serted anywhere within the session for ad-
ditional tempo changes. Tempo events are
displayed in the Tempo Ruler.
To display the Tempo Ruler:

Track is ignored and the session plays at the
tempo defined in the Transport window. For de-
tails, see “Using Manual Tempo Mode” on
page 85.
