Tempo and Key Signature Controls

Tempo Indicator The Tempo Indicator tells how fast the MIDI file is playing, in beats- per-second. To decrease or increase the tempo, click the left- facing and right-facing triangular buttons.

Note that tempo will not alter the speed of digital audio tracks.

Key Signature The Key Signature indicator tells how much you’ve transposed the Indicator music in semitones. A semitone is one half-step; there are 12

semitones in one octave. You can transpose up or down by up to 12 semitones (a full octave). A positive/negative number means the pitch has been raised/lowered. A zero means the original key has not been altered. To decrease or increase the transposition, click the left-facing and right-facing triangular buttons.

The Tempo and Key controllers affect only MIDI tracks. The digital audio tracks will remain unchanged.
