Is it possible to hook up a midi CC to control the tempo. I am thinking that it is not intuitive to move a mouse while looking at digits. I want to alter the tempo and only use my ears. And also be able to quickly and easily change the tempo. I wasn't thinking so much about changing the tempo during a musical piece just an easy intuitive way of setting it. Perhaps there is an environment already. You could set the range of tempos available say 50BPM to 130BPM. BTW, does the Logic control have any sexy ways of changing these sort of parameters?

Cable e.g. the SUM outlet of the Phsyical Input object into this fader. Select the fader and in its parameter pane (left side of the window) set the proper In definition -- i.e. if you want mod-wheel to control the tempo, set In to Control, -1- to "1". This fader will only give you a 50-177 range though, in steps of one. There's no other way to externally control the tempo (and that's a bloody shame indeed -- I'd kill for a fader with adjustable range and resolution...) -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/

This could be a nice intuitive way to set tempos. I have it altering the tempo but it jumps back to the set tempo. No I'm not using the pitch bender. I'm using my Roland PC200Mk2 ribbon controller. Has anyone used this to set a tempo because this behaviour makes it useless.

It jumps back on stop or cycle-jump, is that what you mean. The only alternative is to record while you change tempo. Then the results become part of the tempo track. Len www.Swiftkick.com
