Quick Sign In:

Topic: BPM Editor
Hello,

I attached a picture of the manual.
Can anyone explain the marked fields what they are for? There is no explanation about it in the manual. I also couldn't find a video which explains exactly that.
It only appears when you use variable beatgrids.
What happens if I check the box?
What does 1 of 4 mean?

Thanks.

It means that you want the selected bpm anchor to indicate the first beat of a measure.
If not selected, it will continue counting the beats from the previous beat before the bpm anchor

Perfect. Thank you, Adion.

An extension to this question...is there any value in addition of time signature selection as well?

The only benefit (for DJ's) would be that the "red"/"blue" markers would appear every 3rd or evry 5th or 8th beat (the value of the denominator of the time signature, with 3, 4, 5 and 8 being the most common, covering the 98% of contemporary music).

I understand. I didn't think non 4/4 time signature play would be that common but you never know (the request might return fom someone else)
