tempo + -

[afriko]

live needs a midi remoteable

TEMPO + and TEMPO - BUTTON

why ?
imagine this :

To get the tempo you like
you use the tap tempo (f.e. via a key of your midi keyboard)

then you just like to get it little faster or slower...
(using a midi controller for tempo does not work here,
because the tempo will JUMP to the position of the controller)
and keep on tapping is way too difficult

a tempo + and minus button
would give the opportunity to make it faster or slower,
going on with the tempo you tapped before....

would be nice, and easy
what do you guys think ?

did you try arrow up /down?

that may be what you are looking for. it's in the manual (Shortcuts), btw...

if you want to control it via midi your controller must have continous controller - there will be no jump.

If they make ARROW UP and DOWN
that I could use VIA MIDI !

That is exactly what I need.
If I use continous controller,
of course there is a jump when
I tap in a tempo
and then go on with continious controlling.

And for arrow up and down
there is no way I have to go the computer keyboard...
instead of controlling it via midi.

I think it would be very easy for ableton
just to make ARROW UP and DOWN midi controlable

for better handling the tempo without stickling to a computer keyboard.

i was thinking more a pitch bend option like a deneon cd player so you can pitch bend when mixing live with t'tables or cd players

I'll repost this since it's pertinent to two threads here...

here's a SIMPLE way for Ableton to implement beatmatching pitch control:

Think about a CD player with pitch control. There's the pitch slider and two nudge buttons. Seems to me that if you map the tempo to a midi CC, the range is determined in master tempo track of the arrange page. That is to say, if you set your view to 30 min and 200 max, you will get VERY coarse changes of tempo. But, if you set it to 120 min and 130 max, (if you're playing at that tempo anyways), you will get much finer control.

Then, all Ableton needs to add is to have two button controls available for "nudging" the time faster or slower. Naturally, we would want to define the ammount of "nudge", be it 5 bpm or whatever, in a text box. Note on (or CC 127) would instantly increase / decrease the tempo by the set ammount, and Note off (or CC 0) would return the tempo to it's original state. With a master tempo range that is relatively small (as set in the arrange page for master tempo automation), you can get VERY precise in your mixing. Just make sure that if you use MIDI CC messages instead of notes, that your controller has it's buttons set to momentary - with 127 transmitted on pressing it, and 0 transmitted on release.
