Unless im missing something, Currently there is no way of inputing or dialing in an exact value for the global BPM. the only way to input a value is by TAP which is very inaccurate and there is no way to fine tune it.
yes thats true
on the surface itself you can select the value field and change it with the encoder
but this does not work in director
I never thought about that and didn’t expect this…
that’s not good for preparation
Yes, and even on the surface the control over global BPM is very clumsy. i can not assign any permanent knob or buttons to control BPM, i only have the tap button and if i have to fine tune then I’m forced to go to FX page to adjust BPM value.
Workaround
assign a Stereo-Tap-Delay to the Global Tap
then you can control the global tap with that unit
but again this does not work in Director
Yes, Thats what i been doing but its far from efficient. a simple TEMPO UP/DOWN on softkeys will solve this both on surface and Director.
or a change in Director to give us the possibility to type in numerical values
we talked about this some months(years) ago…
