Change tempo & key

Steps

1. 1

   Open a Backing Track, a ScratchPad, or a Rehearse setlist.

2. 2

   In the tempo box, press Detect and the app analyses the audio and fills in the BPM. On a blank pad you can simply type the tempo you want instead.

3. 3

   Use minus and plus to move the tempo one BPM at a time. The pitch stays where it is.

4. 4

   Type a number straight into the tempo box and press Enter to jump to that tempo.

5. 5

   Use the transpose arrows to move the audio up or down by semitones. The real key is shown — D, D♭, C — not a number.

6. 6

   Tap the key or the tempo value itself to put it straight back to the original.

Tips

• The click track follows the tempo, including detection and every later change, so the two never drift apart.
• A ScratchPad uses the key you set in the pad details as its starting key.
• Tempo and key changes are for playback only — the files in your drive are never altered.
• Included from the Pro plan up.

Troubleshooting

• Detect returns an odd number — songs with a heavy backbeat sometimes read at half or double time; adjust with the plus and minus, or type the right tempo.
