Adding Tempo Data to Snapshots
The Snapshots List can be toggled to display Tempo, along

plug-ins.

as set in the Options > Misc page.

1 Go to the Options > Misc page.
2 In the Tap Tempo section, click to select BPM or ms.
To sort items by tempo:
With Tempo shown in the Snapshots List, right-click and
choose Sort by Tempo.
Assigning and Enabling a Tempo
Each snapshot can store a custom tempo value. You can man-
ually enter a custom tempo, or use a shortcut to assign the cur-
rent System Tempo.
You can use the Tempo Enable icon to enable or disable tempo
recall when the associated snapshot is recalled.
