Tempo Changes

MixPad supports adding tempo changes to the timeline. Tempo changes will affect the metronome and any MIDI files in your project. Audio files will not be changed. If you want your audio files to also adjust to the new tempo, you will need to adjust them separately. By default the tempo is 120 beats per minute, and you can change the tempo to any value between 30 and 280 at a beat position.

For example, if you want to change the tempo to 240 beats per minute at the beginning of bar 12, switch the timeline mode to Beats and measures either from the lower Loop & Grid tab or by right-clicking the timeline and selecting Time Display Modes -> Beats and Measures. Next, right-click the timeline, choose Insert Tempo Change, then from the Edit Tempo dialog change the tempo value to 240 and change the Bar value to 12 and Beat to 1.

Now when you turn on the metronome and load clips to play, you will hear that the metronome will change speed at the places you specified.

To edit or remove a tempo change, just right-click on the tempo change mark on the timeline and choose Edit Tempo Change or Remove Tempo Change.
