Tempo
Tempo / Time signature
Tempo and bar changes are an important expression criteria of all music.
Samplitude 11.5 Producer offers comprehensive creation possibilities.
In this case the definition of tempo and time changes is done entirely by means
of markers within the project window. Special tempo and bar markers can be
defined using linear or immediate tempo or bar changes. The resulting tempo
curves are calculated automatically. The display in the transport window serves
as a visual control of the current tempo or time which displays the current
values when playing back or repositioning the current respective value.
The musical grid can also be adjusted by placing support points at certain time
positions or already available audio and MIDI events, e.g. a reference drum
track (so-called "advanced tempo mapping").
There are three types of markers:
 Tempo
 Time signature (musical signature)
 Bar position
Of course, tempo information can also be adopted when importing MIDI files
into the current project. Samplitude 11.5 Producer creates the required tempo
markers automatically.
If required, MIDI/audio events can be coupled with the musical grid and
positioned precisely for tempo changes.
Set new tempo marker
A new project first has a single “master” tempo which can be defined in the
transport control or in the project settings (“I”).
You can define unlimited tempo changes directly in the project window at
anytime. The tempo marker is the most important tool as it can be used to
define a tempo change at a precise position, which can also be interpolated
linearly to a previous tempo definition.
