I understand that you can’t have individual BPM settings for parts and i wanted to ask you guys.How do you play live your tracks that all having different BPM settings?In fact has anyone played their album Live without stopping playback and be on a different BPM each time a track changes?Any workflow advices for nonstop Live jamming would be great.I want to use OT as a master in order to use Pickup machines for overdubs and such.I’ve tried to use it as slave to my Tempest but it kept popping that message that i can’t overdub and had to switch it to master in order to fix it.

edit*
Is this a solution?

Thanks

You can program tempo per row in the Arranger and jump in and out of the Arranger.

You can hold down [FUNCTION] while setting a new tempo and then release [FUNCTION] when ready to jump to a new tempo.

Ye that’s what i’m talking about!No need to use Hold Function+Set Tempo trick cause i don’t want to remember each track’s tempo.
Setting individual BPM settings per row in the arranger menu and Jumping in/out of the arranger does the trick!
Thanks Pete!!!
