Speed
Let's assume that you've started working on that slow power ballad
with a 120 BPM setting in your host instead of 60 BPM. When editing
a MIDI part, the note data might look a bit odd with quarter notes ap-
pearing as half notes – but it would work. In fact, there'd be no prob-
lem at all.
Until you want to sync up a self-playing device like Groove Agent, that
is...
The easy solution lies in the three buttons that make Groove Agent 3
play half as fast, at normal speed or twice as fast. In the scenario de-
scribed above, the half setting would cure the problem instantly.
The Speed function can also be used as an effect. Forcing our drum-
mer to play at half or double speed may give interesting results. Feel
free to try this at home!

Here's another new gadget for you! The Speed control (not
to be confused with Half Tempo Feel – they are in no way
related) lets you quickly solve simple tempo mis-match
problems. Here's an example:
The Setup button takes you to the Setup page,
where you can define all sorts of general preferences
and settings. Clicking the Close button magically
closes the Setup page.
