In this lesson, our instructor Evren Edler gives an introduction to tempo operations. He starts by discussing tempo events, enable conductor, tempo change and option click. He then moves on to snap to bar and tempo operations: constant , linear, parabolic, s-curved, scale, stretch, & pencil tool.
Graphic Tempo Editor: to view
the tempo operations, click the little arrow in the tempo ruler.
Tempo events are visible when
the conductor icon is enabled on transport window.
Tempo Change: In order to make
tempo changes, we need to always enable the “conductor” icon in
the Transport Window.
Once we type the changes on
certain cars, we can drag the “Tempo Change” icon in the Tempo
ruler up to go faster or drag down to slow down.
Option Click: gets rid of
tempo changes in a similar way we work with our markers or we can
select the tempo change icons and delete them by delete/backspace
key or clearing them under Edit Menu or short cut of (Com B).
Tempo Operations: We can also
apply tempo changes to a time selection using the Tempo Operations
under the Event menu.
There are 6-sub menu you will
see under Tempo Operations.
Pencil Tool: You can draw in
the new tempo events, replacing existing ones, using the pencil tool
The Free hand tool lets you
draw freely by moving the mouse, producing a series of steps that
depends on the Tempo Edit Density settings.
Parabolic & S-Curve Tools
lets you draw the best possible curve to fit your freehand drawing,
again producing a series of steps that depend on the Tempo Edit
The Triangle, Square &
Random Pencil tool cannot be used to create tempo events!
