Tempo Display
If your song has a tempo that stays the same throughout,
you can set this constant tempo in the Transport window.
The current tempo will always be displayed here, even if
you are using programmed tempo changes or external
synchronization.
Tempo Track
Tempo changes are controlled by tempo events, which are
stored in a special tempo track. This track is not visible in
the Arrange window.
The tempo track applies to the whole song.
The tempo track also determines the relationship between
incoming time code, and the current song position (see
page 270).
Overview
Information on changing song tempo: The easiest
way to set individual tempo changes is from the Tempo List
(see page 260). The Tempo List is a specialized Event List
editor for tempo events.
Another way is to record tempo changes with the mouse,
from the Transport window, or you can do this more accu-
rately using the Graphic Tempo editor (see page 262). The
Graphic Tempo editor is a Drum Editor, with a fixed event
definition for tempo events, and is really useful for editing
existing tempo changes by hand (see page 262).
To find out how to lock a particular bar of a song to a partic-
ular SMPTE time frame (for all of you out there who are us-
ing MAGIX midi studio generation 6 to synchronize mu-
sic to picture), read the section Positioning Bars to Frames
from page 269 onwards.
Tempo List Editor
You can open the Tempo List by clicking and holding on
the Transport’s Sync button with the mouse. A pull-down
menu will appear, from which you select Open Tempo
List… or, you can simply select Options > Tempo > Tempo
List Editor….
