Ok for like the billionth time, click on the tempo display in live first (ie. where it says 120.00) so that it is the "Active Setting" and you can use up/down and shift+up/down to "nudge" the tempo in either 1 beat per press (120 to 121 or 119) or .10 beat per press (120 to 120.10 or 119.90).xeb wrote:shift up/down doesn't do anythingi've not seen anything in the manual about being able to make nudges to the tempo/position
You can now control the tempo and nudge it until you click on something else in live and make something else "active"
You can also select the bpm display and assign a midi knob to it or a keyboard key.
If you put it on a keyboard key then one press will drop it to your "min tempo" specified on the master channel on the arrange view and two key presses with switch it to the "max tempo" you have specified in the same area.
If you want to make a gentle nudge then return to the exact tempo live was playing at, hit the key you assigned (once or twice depending on if you want to throw it or break it for a second) then quickly hit cmd+z (ctrl+z on a pc) to undo back to your original tempo. If you assign the tempo to a midi knob you can also use the undo trick to get back to your original tempo if you need.
If you want to you can assign a gamepad, joystick, griffen powermate, anything that has drivers or software that allows you to set them to send keyboard commands to control the above nudging technique.
