change will occur.

data you do not want see. If no MIDI data is filtered,
then all the MIDI for the selected track appears in the
Event List window.

Tempo Change

to effect a tempo change.
Type This field allows you to determine whether the
type of tempo change will be a single change or an
accelerando/deaccelerando. Selecting accelerando/
deaccelerando allows you to set a beginning and an
ending value, smoothly increasing or decreasing the
tempo during the time you have set.
Start BPM This field sets the tempo at the beginning
of the change.
End BPM This field determines the tempo at the end
of the change.
Start Time This field determines the position (rela-
tive to the EDL) for the start of the change.
End Time This field determines the end of the
change.
Duration This field determines the duration of the
change.
Curve This field lets you to select the type of curve
the tempo change will follow (
, and ).
Exponential Cosine
Steepness Determines the grade of the tempo
change's curve.
Randomize Determines the amount of variation
introduced into the tempo change's curve.
Event Density This field determines the amount of
tempo change MIDI data that makes up the curve.
Higher values produce smoother tempo changes
while lower values yield more stepped changes (but
require less MIDI data).
