7.7. Adjusting Tempo
The Tempo of a track can be adjusted by using the automatic Deck synchronization function and
the TEMPO fader. When using the TEMPO fader the resulting effect depends on several factors:
• When using the SYNC function, changing the Tempo by moving the TEMPO fader only works
on the Deck assigned to Tempo Master. Moving the TEMPO fader on the synced Deck has no
effect.
• When the TEMPO fader is locked on the Deck, moving the TEMPO fader has no effect.
• The TEMPO faders can operated in two different modes - in Absolute By default, the TEMPO
faders operate in Relative mode.
• Relative In this mode, each TEMPO fader on your S4 affects the Tempo fader of the soft-
ware Deck relatively to its current position, even if this position does not match the position
of the TEMPO fader on your S4. This notably resolves possible conflicts between the Tem-
po fader and the Deck synchronization.
• Absolute In this mode, whenever you move the TEMPO fader on your S4, its position is
transmitted 1:1 to the Tempo fader of the software Deck — no matter what the current posi-
tion of the Tempo fader in the software is. In , the software Deck’s tempo always matches
the Tempo fader position on your S4, unless you have somehow changed the software
Deck’s tempo.
The TEMPO fader mode can be selected in the Preferences. For more information, refer to Pref-
erences
