Chapter 18 Tempo 603
Max. Tempo Change
This sets the maximum tempo change possible per tap (in bpm). To obtain as regular a
tempo curve as possible, follow this rule: set the smallest possible value (and only as
large as necessary).
Tap Count-In
This sets the number of taps used as a count-in. Logic starts on the tap after this
number of taps is entered.
Smoothing
Switching on this function smooths out jumps in tempo, resulting from incoming taps
(which could prove useful when using Logic live). You need to switch it off, if you want
the sequencers tempo to follow your taps as precisely, and quickly as possible.
Tempo Recording
The Tempo Recording function creates a tempo list that follows your taps, when in
record mode. This function should normally be switched off.
Pre and Post
These are the ways your tap signals are displayed:
Pre: displays every tap that is input;
Post: displays every accepted tap that occurs within the tap window (as defined
above), or on or around a tap step (again, as defined above).
The Pre/Post tap signals flash yellow if the taps are within the allowed range, and red if
they are out of range.
Real Time Tempo Fader
You can create a real time Tempo fader in the Environment window by selecting New >
Fader > Specials > Tempo Control. This can control Logic’s tempo (using Meta event
#100). There is no need to connect this fader to anything, unless you want to record its
output.
The Tempo fader has a range of possible values from 50 to 177 bpm. External MIDI data
can be used to control it, with an input value of 0 resulting in a tempo of 50, and an
input value of 127, resulting in a tempo of 177.
If you place the tempo fader between the physical input and the sequencer input, you
will be able to:
record tempo changes;
control the tempo with any desired MIDI event types:
