Hmmmmm.

When you do the tempo adjust frits, why not consider this feature.

Right now I seem to end up with 2 sounds.

1 Start with tempo set, built it up slowly. It sounds clean and regimented and allows me to build up things programmitically as well as live and I have all the quantise features to tidy up the odd stray note.

2 Have no click track just jam live into the box. It sounds live and real and I love it.

But I can never blend the two. (Maybe my lack of patience and experience)

I’d like a feature where I tick the box “Auto tempo” and then just click “record.. and all the DAW looks at my midi input and figures out my tempo.
When I get slow, the daw’s tempo gets slow, when I speed up the DAW catches up with me.

All my musical bars map to bars in the DAW.

And I get the best of both worlds, quantise where I need it, adjusting tempo where I went wrong.

Now this could be done so that I play randomly into the daw and afterwards hit a “auto map tempo” if that’s easier it doesn’t matter.
The main thing is that after I record my first track, I want the tempo to be set by my playing not by tweaking endlessly.

This might well be impossible.

It might be easier if I had to specify a time signature and a tempo range.
It might be easier if I had lay down the drums first.
It might be easier if tempo only followed the bass drum (Or a range of selected notes)

It’s a dream … but it might also be my worse nightmare, when it comes to track number 2 … having to play along with all my bad timing from track 1.

Anyway food for thought…
