toby49 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I need help. I play guitars in a worship band. We use many tracks in the songs. Although I store the songs in the correct bpm (preset per song), they are not in sync with the tracks. The drummer starts the tracks & I used to taped the bpm with my foot. But often it wasen‘t really accuret (I play with lots of dotted eights delays). Is there a way to save the tempo per preset and just give the cue with the foot without changing the saved bpm again?

jbuhajla Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 On a preset, touch and hold (do not push) the tap button. You can set the BPM for the preset on the screen. Save the preset. Now, do NOT tap in a tempo because it will overwrite the BPM you just programmed. This is how I handle tempos in Worship every Sunday. I have one main preset I use, I just have them saved in preset slots 0-4, and I pre-program the BPMs in each. I then just change preset with the preset ^v switches on the left.

Once the correct bpm is saved with the preset, the actual tempo effects follow your playing - not some underlying song tempo. When you strike a guitar note the bpm FX apply to the struck note whether or not it is struck exactly 'on the beat'. There is no underlying beat/bar that the bpm is following; Helix simply applies the saved fx bpm settings to the note when struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
