Sujet: Songs automatically match BPM
Hi all!

It's been like that for a while. No matter what I do, If the song I'm starting is close in BPM to the one playing, it's value will snap to the playing song BPM, either while loading or when I start it. autoBPMMatch, autoPitchLock, smartPlay and smartPlayLimitPitchRange are all set to no. Automix is not used, but I also tried to set automixBeatMatchOnFade to no.

BTW, automixTempoMode when in keep bmp mode is not supposed to change bpm if the pitch change would be over 10%, but it won't care and will change bpm even for 50%

The skin doesn't influence the result, nor the controller. Any idea what I could change to fix at least my first problem?

Thanks!

Anything mapped to keyboard ONSONGLOAD or ONINIT, could be quantize_all called somewhere.
 
It was quantize_all. It seems to overide everything, not only quantizing but matching bpm, maybe key and others.

Thanks Locodog!
 
No, it doesn't match key, but if BPM is less than 10% in pitch range it will match.
Why shouldn't it, since you are calling for quantized actions on the grid of the other song ?
I mean, yes there might be a few cases that you don't want/need the BPM to match but still have quantize, but that's maybe 2% of all the possible user cases ?
 
I agree with you, it's the best ergonomic choice. As an engineer, I find that it goes further than what the wording says. It would be nice to augment with some details the description in the manual for the verbs.
 
"BTW, automixTempoMode when in keep bmp mode is not supposed to change bpm if the pitch change would be over 10%, but it won't care and will change bpm even for 50%"

Maybe the quantize_all explains this issue too? It will overide automix settings too?
 
Quantize (quantize_all) is not taken into account during automix.
Other things are.

That's a bug and it should be fixed.
 
How else do you expect automix to keep bpm stable?
 
Thanks Phantom. I hope it get's fixed soon...

Adion, I hope the setting keeps the BPM fixed if the new song native bpm is within 10% of the playing bpm. In that case, the new song bpm is adjusted to fit. If the difference is more than 10%, the new song will start at it's native bpm
 
And after that? The bpm sticks to that song? It goes back to the bpm you started automix with? It turns off keep bpm and continues with nornal bpm?
 
The way I'd like it is simply to continue with how it is stated to work, very simple. So if the next (3rd) song is within 10% you stick with the new bpm.

This way you can group songs around 100 bpm for example and then group others around 120 bpm with reasonable transitions.
