TEMPO MENU 651
The time position in the virtual project is the absolute position, the musical position is
flexible and is made clear by the grid. Keeping the musical position means that objects or
markers are adapted to the newly created grid, its time position in the project therefore
changes. Should the time position remain the same, the musical position will change
correspondingly.
When manipulating the tempo markers, the behavior of markers, audio, and MIDI objects is
controlled separately. By default, the grid position of MIDI objects and tempo markers
remain intact, and the time position of markers and objects remains the constant.
When making changes using the mouse while holding down "Alt at the same time, the time
position will always remain the same.
The time position, however, is always maintained (default) for fixed tracks (lock
symbol). This can be changed in the "Tempo/Beat marker" window.
In this example, the first tempo marker in the second image has been changed. The MIDI
object and the second tempo marker were moved correspondingly so that the musical
positions (3:01:00 and 4:01:00) are maintained.
More options:
Each tempo and bar position marker can be ignored using the "Bypass" option. This
occurs automatically for bar position markers if absurd bar positions are created while
moving, e.g. if bar position markers are exchanged (bar 20 before bar 19) or are moved in
such a way that these bar positions that originate from a previous tempo marker cannot be
met by tempo interpolation.
Ignore all beat markers, use project beat
There is an option for ignoring all tempo markers in the tempo/beat marker dialog. In this
case, only the specified project tempo is used.
Manipulating the tempo marker in "Timestretch" mouse
mode
"Timestretch" mouse mode simplifies working with tempo markers. Select the
"Pitchshift/Timestretch" mode from the toolbar.
You can create tempo markers by clicking directly on the desired playback position
and holding down "Shift", and you can adapt this tempo by moving the mouse vertically
while holding down "Shift".
