Tempo Chooser

The tempo chooser lets you choose a tempo to assign to your backing track or MultiTrack. This is the natural tempo of the track and can be used to various things. For instance, if you link a song to a chord chart or sheet music, OnSong can automatically get the tempo for the metronome. You should not use this to shift the tempo of the backing track. This is metadata about the track only.

To set the tempo, drag left and right or up and down to quickly get to the desired tempo range. You can then tap on the edge of the control to increment the tempo by one beat per minute. Tapping on the top or right will increment the tempo. Tapping on the left or bottom will decrement the tempo.

You can also tap in the middle of the control in time with the song. OnSong will determine the tempo by averaging the taps.

You can also acquire the tempo from MIDI click by enabling the switch at the bottom if you are connected to MIDI equipment emitting a clock. Tap on the options menu to view Metronome Settings
