Tempo Modifier Button

Tempo Modifier button

The Tempo Modifier button is used to audition the active DirectMusic Producer component at a different tempo without actually modifying the tempo in the component. The tempo shown in the Current Tempo box is multiplied by the percentage value in the Tempo Modifier button when the button is selected. To change the value, right-click the button to display the Alternate Tempo Dialog Box.

The default setting is 50 percent of the tempo displayed in the Current Tempo box, thus slowing the tempo down to one half its original value. For example, a component whose original tempo is 120 beats per minute (BPM) is played at 60 BPM when a tempo modifier value of 50% is used.

There is a delay of approximately half a second after clicking the Tempo Modifier button before playback is affected.
