The Tempo (TEMPO)
The tempo display shows the current project tempo at the
cursor position.
To change the tempo, you have the following possibilities:
• Double-click the tempo field and type in the desired
tempo.
• Click in the tempo field, keep the mouse button pressed
and drag up or down.
• Select a loop within your project that has the desired
tempo and drag it onto the Tempo field.
This will change the tempo to the tempo set in the loop file.
Using Tap Tempo
The Tap Tempo function allows you to specify a tempo by
tapping:
1. Click the Learn button in the upper left corner of the
Tempo display to activate the Learn mode.
The button turns red to indicate that you can now tap the tempo.
2. If you want to tap the tempo of some recorded material
with unknown tempo, activate playback.
3. Tap the tempo on the space bar of the computer key-
board or on a connected MIDI keyboard.
4. When you stop tapping, the program calculates the
average tempo of the taps and displays it.
The tapped tempo is now shown in the Tempo display.
Using the Rehearsal tempo
If you are recording an instrument with Sequel and you
find that at some moments, it is impossible for you to keep
up with the project tempo, try activating Rehearsal mode.
This reduces the project tempo, making it easier for you to
record even tricky parts with Sequel.
• To activate Rehearsal tempo, click in the top right cor-
ner of the tempo field.
Rehearsal tempo is activated.
• To use the normal project tempo again, click again in
the top right corner of the Tempo field.
The Time Signature (T.SIGN)
Your project time signature is displayed here.
To change the time signature, you have the following pos-
sibilities:
• Double-click the Time Signature field and type in the
desired time signature.
• Click in the time signature field, keep the mouse button
pressed and drag up or down.
The Project Root Key (KEY)
The root key of your project is displayed here. You can
change this in the following ways:
• To change the project root key, click on the value and
select a key from the pop-up menu.
• Select a loop in your project that has the desired key
and drag it onto the key field.
This will only work if the key information was saved with the original file.
Ö When you create a new project, the first audio event
that you drag into your project will define the key, provided
that the audio event’s data contains key information.
