Tempo and time signature changes in the tempo
map...
Tempo and time signature changes are an important means of expression of your
music. You can make these changes in Samplitude Music Studio 2013 by using
extensive options.
A precise bar grid is essential for precise editing. Samplitude Music Studio 2013 offers
you a convenient option for adjusting the bar grid to existing material
(audio/video/MIDI).
Changes in tempo can be made using tempo markers.
The tempo map displays all tempo markers and determines the musical positioning
for each time position. Simply put: The tempo map defines the beat grid.
You can adjust the bar grid to certain time positions by using grid position markers
(e.g. existing audio or MIDI events). To do so, just drag a grid line of the bar grid to
the desired time position.
It is even possible to tap the beat hits or entire bar positions of the grid. In this case,
use the "Grid Fit Mode" of the tempo map (view page 231).
Besides the Tempo map dialog (view page 232), the transport conso
l
e also serves as
optical control of the tempo map. The transport console displays the current values
for tempo (BPM) and time signature at the current play cursor position.
In the Tempo map dialog (view page 232) you can specify which objects' or ma
rkers'
position should be adjusted when tempo changes are made.
