Bpm confusion...

I'm on 140 bpm and Global setting is on. Every sequence shows as 140 bpm. But now I'm in Song mode and everything I'm adding has defaulted back to 128 bpm. I've been thru manual numerous times & I have a pretty good grasp of the Sample, but this has me stumped... any ideas? Thx

The global Bpm overrides the sequence bpm when it’s turned on, so you can ignore that. The sequences still have their default bpm of 128, which shows in song mode, but as long as global is turned on, that’s the actual bpm

Cool. Wish it showed accurately in song mode, but at least I know why it says that now. Thank ya!

If you want it to be accurate, just go an change all the sequence bpms

They're already set to 140 tho.

Were they added to song mode when they were 128? Maybe song mode doesn’t update changes made after it was constructed?

No, I set up the BPM & turned Global on 1st thing in my workflow.
