Tempo Resolution

Tempo Resolution

2001-12-05 by Alex Jacobi

Hi Sean&Aaron and everybody else

i�m just preparing some tracks  for a live show with  my new mp-7. I wanna
use the mp-7 mainly as live controller for my e4. What i�m really missing,
is the ability to set the tempo finer than 1 bpm, for example 91.7 bpm. For
everyone doin a lot with samples, this is a very important option.

Please fix that in the next update. I spend 2 nights with timestretching and
tuning all my songs new,  Is there any trick to make this machine play
fractional bpms?

Thank u ,

Alex

I'll play back fractional BPM, as long as it's driven from and external sequencer :) Yeah it is frustrating having such limited Tempo resolution , I play with mine while spinning, and syncing tables and the XL is much harder with such big steps. It really seems odd too, as there's room enough on the LCD for finer resolutions...
