Set exact BPM of a mix/track

[jonas76]

HI all,

it's a detail question, as it doesn't really affect my work with Cross.
But I wonder if there is a way to set the exact BPM of a track, eg the first track of a mix?

E.g. right now when I load the first track, the bpm of that track is e.g. 123bpm. But I would like to rise it to exactly 125.00 to start my mix. If I use the pitch slider, I can't exactly reach 125. It's always 125.03 or something. Is there a way to type 125 or something similar?

As I said, it's details. ;-)

try a example of a track ,, go in to info field and look for the bpm adjust it to desired bpm and see if it sticks ,,

Double clik to the bpm field and write the bpm that you want. But keep in mind that this will be the bpm for the whole track.

It might be you ask for setting a default the pitch for a track. This is not possible. Changing the BPM value (as suggested) will not play the track at a different speed when loaded. It will have impact on sync and pitch values(relative speeds)

What you do have as options is change the 'pitch range'. 4-6-8-10-16-32-100% are the values that can be select for the max +/-. This might provide some more accuracy.

The main reason you will hardly find exact integers is that it is being measured. You only have a chance of having an integer if you have a 1 on 1 copy of a digital master track. Pretty close can be a CD-track ripped by using a DJ player. Hardly any chance if you use a 'common' CD player. Also conversion of a file type is likely to cause a slight difference in actual BPM.

The only way to have Cross run at a certain BPM is to load a track by that BPM and then sync to that value.
You can use a dummy track (of a few sec) and edit the BPM manual as a first track.

And be aware that if you record this you have no guarantee that playback will have the exact same .00 accuracy....

This could be achieve if Mixvibes implemented a master clock.
With a master clock in slave mode you can have a track running at 123 BPM being master, then type 125 for master clock BPM and change the master clock mode to master. This will result in your track to sync to the master clock at exactly 125 BPM.

Since Mixvibes have not implemented this the following might be a workaround.

With a track running at 123 BPM in player A or B
take a sample bank and load it in sampler 1 or 2.
Type 125 for the speed of the sampler.
make the sampler your Master.
use the Sync button in your player (A or B).

Your track in the player now is running at 125BPM.
Set your master back to wichever deck you want it to be master.

This will not change the original BPM of your track as measured and recorded during track analysis. it will just simply make it run at exactly 125 BPM.

Sorry for being a little late to respond, but thanks everyone for their feedback. It's really helpful!
Gonna try the sample tip.

EDIT: the sampler workaround actually fits my needs. Thanks a lot mate!
