Or you could say tempo always relates to quarter notes, which I believe isn't uncommon in sequencers (I know Rosegarden does this, googled up some programs called Logic, Cubase and Sonar that seem to be the same way). If this is potentially confusing to the sheet music literate, maybe BPM should be renamed QPM to make things 100% clear. > I'm a bit of two minds whether we should do anything about this, I think > LMMS's way may actually make more sense from the perspective of > electronic music making... the lower part (denominator) could maybe be > constrained to actual binary exponents, (1, 2, 4, 8...) but keep the > function otherwise the same. From a technical POV any integer factor of 192 should be OK. Not that it would bring much more to the table: 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 if my math is correct. -- [email protected] softrabbit on #lmms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
