Small tempo changes

Hi,

 

I'm using Music Maker 2020 with content unlocked using the 2015 Magix music maker premium software key I bought some years ago. I'm trying to do a tempo change using the Tempo/pitch resample feature in order to get some polyrhythms without having to go through the difficulty of mapping the exact polyrhythms without a grid by writing down a beat in the native tempo and then adjusting it in the work file. I know that's kind of confusing, but the main issue is I need to set the Tempo resample to exactly 90bpm, but the tempo adjustment knob only allows me to adjust at increments of 0.6bpm, so the closest I can get to playing at the tempo it should be playing at is either 89.7bpm or 90.3bpm, both of which just sound really bad once played because it's either dragging or rushing by a considerable amount compared to the rest of the track. I've tried lowering my mouse's DPI to try and get the knob to change by smaller increments but it just jumps by increments of 0.6 no matter what I try. Is there any way to manually change the tempo resample number, like by typing in exact numbers as we can do for the file tempo? Because this simply won't do as is and I really don't want to have to sit and write out triplet rhythms by hand.

 

Thanks

Hi

. . . . the tempo adjustment knob only allows me to adjust at increments of 0.6bpm . . . .

To get much finer control, hold down the Shift key while moving the control - this applies to all controls/dials in Music Maker 2020.
