I'm working on a project to use on live performances that has several Tempo changes, and I need to set very specific BPMs because I am using external hardware that I can only sync by hand since it has no way of connecting to the computer.

In the arrangement view I edit the tempo using the Song Tempo envelope, but I can't set it to a specific tempo, even if I use the Cmd key while dragging. For example, I can't set the Song Tempo to 85 BPM, the closer I can get it is 85.04

I know this is a very slight difference, but I want to know if it's possible to set a specific Song Tempo by typing the number I want instead of using the mouse. This would also save me some time because I wouldn't have to look for the BPMs by scrolling.

Thanks in advance

Hello elpernyl,

the workaround here is:
-set the arrangement play position where you want to have the exact tempo change
-activate global record
-type in the desired tempo
-hit play to record the adjusted tempo as automation

best,
Christian

Thanks kleine, works perfectly
