QUestioon on Tempo and controlling with knob - need coarser values

Cantabile

How can I set the controller knob in C3 to be coarser? IE just go up or down in even increments, no .
EG: 120 to 121 not 120 120.2 120.3 120.7 etc etc

Hi @pax-eterna

Can you post a screenshot of your current knob to tempo binding along with any value mapping settings?

Here they are: Not sure about the “value mapping” I’m assuming it is the box from pic 2?

Ah ok I see what’s happening. Some months ago I added support for fractional tempos, and this binding doesn’t do anything to round off its calculation.

Since the default maps a range of values 128 in length to a range 295 in length the values don’t line up on integer boundaries.

As a temporary work around you could change the target range to something like 60 - 187 (same range length as the incoming 0 - 127) and you’ll get whole number final tempo values.

I’ll look into fixing this, but not sure when I’ll get to it.

thanks Brad - doesn’t really help though. I tried entering to 250 and it did the same thing. Tried the 187 and that does work, but I do need, on occasion, to go higher than that. I do a bit of jazz as well and tempos there can be quite frenetic!

Try 30 -> 284. That should give steps of 2 bpm.

Sweet, thanks Brad!
