Creating a master rack for tempo control + visual tempo cue.

Hi iococoi, the rhythm process I facilitate requires a sequential building of rhythm layers (usually about 6 to 8, each one on a separate rack) that generally start slow and then increases in speed. If all goes well I start for example at say 60 bpm and and when all layers are in place i may increase the speed to 70 or or 80 bpm. The thing is that I may need at any point to reverse to a previous layer and to decrease the speed until people get it and this back and forth can happen a fair bit before we build the whole rhythm and settle to a tempo. So my idea is to turn the racks on/off as need be and to control the tempo from the master so all layers (racks) are on the same tempo..

Does it make sense? I am not sure how to upload a crude example on the forum so I include a link to the file..

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi,

For number 2) i was hoping to have a master rack taking the other racks as audio input..
this is simply a matter of drag&drop:

and somehow building a patch that could control the tempo etc
that really depends, what you exactly need. All tempo things are best dealt with the Syncro modules..Master or Local..

For number 1) i was thinking to have a sort of led flashing at the set tempo but haven't managed to do so.
For number 2) i was hoping to have a master rack taking the other racks as audio input and somehow building a patch that could control the tempo etc.. but I have been unable to do it.

Hi there,

the first one is quite easy to manage. Just connect a LED or a Switch to the Master Sync bar led outlet like so

you can resize/edit both Switch/LED to your needs. I've also connected the bar position to the caption input of the Switch. The Int to Str module transforms an integer Data flow into a Text flow.

Hi there, I just recently started to get my head around HH after a friend told me it was the solution to my project..after a few days playing with it I agree with him that this amazing software can do it all but I haven't managed to find a solution as yet so all help is welcome:D I am a beginner...

My project:

I facilitate live rhythm groups where I lead participants very progressively into complex multilayered rhythms. I normally use some drums while I lead to provide the rhythm structure but I would want to be totally free of drums.

I have high quality recordings of each drum parts and have distributed them into audio racks. The rhythm layers are built progressively and I need to be able to switch on/off each rack anytime to come back to the previous layer if need be. So far so good, although I still have to build an easy interface for live use.

My issues:

1) I need to include have a visual cue of the set tempo in my interface to be able to introduce live sound ,prior to launching the recorded sound, but at the same tempo.

2) The process requires me to be able to adjust the tempo faster/slower at any time. The adjustments are done in relatively small ranges but must affect all the racks at once and not modify the pitch of the audio (a bit like the functionality that exist in the grain sampler player)

For number 1) i was thinking to have a sort of led flashing at the set tempo but haven't managed to do so.
For number 2) i was hoping to have a master rack taking the other racks as audio input and somehow building a patch that could control the tempo etc.. but I have been unable to do it.

Thank you very much for your help!
