Title: Spark 2 - BPM jump in standalone.
Post by: JL on January 07, 2016, 12:49:49 am

hey All ---

quick question --- my Spark2 in standalone mode (OSX / updated firmware / 2.2.0) the bpm is jumping to incorrect tempos - i.e. 114.7 jumps to 115.9 - skips 116bpm, straight to 117.3, 118.6 and so on...  any clues?     Doesnt seem I can type the tempo into anywhere either - unless i've missed the method.     (fwiw - when using into Reaper/Logic everything syncs fine, but cant nail correct tempos in standalone.)

would really like a tap tempo button too...tried tapping all over the thing, but no joy  ;D

Thanks for any help in adv.   cheers J.

hold down the Control button on your keyboard while you adjust the tempo via the gui.  This will give you more fine-grained control.

There's a tap tempo button if you switch over to the Spark Creative GUI interface.  I don't know why they've never added it to the Spark LE interface.  There's space for it.
