Read as my help in French and English about transmit tempo (BPM) in Midi equivalent.

https://forum.singularsound.com/t/how-to...ange/38156 

It would be very useful to have a %miditempo% variable to transmit the midi equivalent of the current song's tempo. Furthermore, it would be wonderful to have an "internal" command able to send the right "Control Change" to a midi device. A command like "Tempo to Midi" would be really useful.

This command could be global, because it never happens to inform the MIDI that the tempo does not change if we change the song...

Thanks for reading

I can add a new MIDI command type specific to the BeatBuddy (which would only be visible if Settings->MIDI Settings->MIDI Device Type was set to "BeatBuddy" which is something I would have to add), but it does not make sense to have a generic "Tempo to MIDI" command or anything of that nature, because the control change implementation used with the BeatBuddy is specific to the BeatBuddy. Every MIDI device can work differently and accept different messages.

I do not want to support a concept of "global" MIDI messages, as there are very few instances that I'm aware of where that makes sense or is useful in any way. I can consider adding an option specific to the BeatBuddy (something that can be set under Settings->MIDI Settings if MIDI Device Type is set to "BeatBuddy") to send a song's tempo when the song is loaded (if a tempo has been set for the song). I'm really going to need to hear from more BeatBuddy users though, because I have no idea how popular the BeatBuddy is or how many users utilize it.

Great, Better a little than nothing. The disadvantage of placing these commands in each song is that it must be done often whereas if a pedal or midi equipment is connected, there is no disadvantage in receiving the tempo information at each sound change... It would be easier. I don't think that "Beat Buddy" requires a special command, just the possibility of no longer calculating the BPM to MIDI conversion would be good, because the BOSS 500 is very popular and the command is different. So all that is needed is help with this conversion, then choosing the right Control Change is not difficult. Personally I would prefer a command not specific to BeatBuddy, but placed in the parameters or in a setlist command.
