Hello Wild Drums,
Thank you for your reply. Currently the "tempo fader" in the Midi Environment "adds 50" to the usual 0 to 127 midi signal range so that it goes between 50 and 177 bpm. The midpoint (set point) is halfway between 50 and 177 or 114 bpm. When you use a pitch bend wheel that is "self centering" it sits at 114 bpm and as soon as you touch it the tempo jumps to 114 and then moves. So changing the range of the "tempo fader" and possibly the "mid-/set point is what I was hoping you could do.
I have gone to the inspector and entered new values ("10 50") to replace the "0 127" and it appears to accept them (they appear in the box) but when I activate the pitch bend wheel the fader still seems to run from 50 to 177 as if it is allowing/accepting signals ranging from 0 to 127 from the midi controller. So either there is another setting that I need to engage in the inspector to "ignore/reject" incoming midi signals outside the stipulated range (e.g. "10 50") or that setting isn't functioning. (If it worked I would expect the "tempo fader" to run between 60 and 100 bpm (midpoint set point of 80 bpm). The value of this is that I can subtly slow the tempo from 80 to ~70 in real time and by releasing the pitch bend wheel it will "pop back" immediately to 80 bpm. That would be a wonderfully musical way to insert a ritardando into a piece.
Again, thank you for your thoughts and assistance - if you can find a way to make the "range" functional on this "tempo fader" (inserted between the keyboard and Logic in the midi environment - Clicks and Ports window) I'll buy you a beer - or two - or three!
Many thanks again for your efforts,
Bruce
