Meter and tempo maps in Live?

Post by lstark » Tue Aug 22, 2006 7:44 pm

How would I do this in Live 5 or 6?

I want to program a tempo and meter change in the middle of a set.

So at measure 100 (for example) change from 4/4@132 bpm to 3/4@66 bpm.

Please tell me I can do that in Live. :) I'll be ecstatic. :wink:

Tempo change - no problem. In arrangement view, automate the master tempo, or if in session view, use a dummy clip to change the global tempo.

Meter change - no can do. Hopefully a Live 7 feature. A workaround is to do the entire track in 1/4 time.

Duh. Yeah, that just occurred to me (the no can do part.) I'm sure the devs want to smack me...a meter map would only work with a timeline I think.

Thanks.
