Set new time signature
Time signature marker
The time signature marker changes the type of beat after the marker position, e.g. from a
4/4 beat to a 3/4 beat. A new project first has a uniform 4/4 beat that can be defined in the
transport control or in the project settings (Shortcut: “I”).
Bar markers can only be inserted at the beginning of a bar. If an imported MIDI file contains
bar changes, bar position markers are automatically generated.
Set new bar position marker
Beat position markers assign a specific musical position to a specific time position. This
way, the bar frame/grid and MIDI events can be easily synchronized with existing audio
material.
Bar position marker (Advanced tempo mapping)
If you want to increase the tempo at a certain bar position, simply define a new tempo
marker, with tempo interpolation referring to the previous marker.
If you would like to align the project tempo with imported audio material complete with
timing nuances, for example, a reference track of the drummer, set bar position markers.
These make sure that the musical grid fits certain time positions during linear playback of
the project. This way you can synchronize the bar grid, musical grid and the corresponding
MIDI data with the available audio material.
Example: The musical grid is adapted to the drummer's performance in order to keep the
groove within this performance. For example, the Project bar 20 at the beginning of the
refrain, will be moved exactly to the first beat of the 20th bar played by the drummer.
A tempo marker signal a clear command: Faster (or slower) starting from this position. In
contrast, a bar position marker defines the tempo indirectly, causing the tempo before the
marker to be adjusted in such a way as to reach the desired musical position exactly at the
marker position.
The grid, the grid display, the metronome and the events in the MIDI editor are
automatically adjusted according to the changed musical tempo.
Ignore all time markers / use project beat
This option enables all previously created tempo markers in your project to be ignored so
that only the project tempo is authoritative.

Creating tempo markers
Tempo and bar changes in Samplitude are set directly in the project window using project
markers.
