Somewhere in the users mailing list archive there must be some information about this. IIRC there is a beat counter, I guess Gustin did recommend one for 2.1. I was searching for a sequencer that is able to set up the tempos of a song by taping a key. This means not only a beat counter, IMO a beat counter is useless, as a musician I need some seconds to find the correct tempo without a beat counter and I'm really out of practise. What really is needed, is a sequencer that is able to set up the MIDI tempo with speed changes, by tapping e.g. to sync to a complete song from an audio source. I'm sure there is a beat counter available, maybe as a "hidden" metronome function of an application. Search the archive ... I searched but didn't find it, I need to reboot to search my old emails, but I'm too short in time now to do it. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
