Tempo
Inside any MIDI sequence
it is possible to set a current tempo value at any MIDI tick position.
So that different tempi are possible thru the playback time of
one MIDI sequence. But there must always be one entry at the MIDI
tick position 001:01:000. You can add and delete further values
at other positions, but this one must always be kept there, because
a MIDI sequence needs at least one base tempo defining the whole
sequence's tempo. Like other tempo entries also the first one
can be edited. But MIDI Locator will refuse its deletion.
As soon as one tempo entry is set inside one measure a little
tempo button is drawn at the top of MIDI Locator's workspace.

Entering one tempo
for the whole MIDI sequence
Because the 001:01:000 entry is undeletable, at least one button
at the very first measure is always drawn. To edit this base tempo
just press this tempo button and change the Tempo value
in the up popping tempo editor.
Entering a tempo map
To add further tempi at other measures you have also to enter
MIDI Locator's tempo editor. Therefore press any of the
visible tempo buttons (like explained, at least the first one
has to be visible). Then press INS.

Then edit the MIDI tick position visible under Measure:Beat:Tick
and enter the position you need for your new tempo entry. Then
change the value under Tempo to your desired additional
tempo :

Moving many tempo
entries at once
After deleting or inserting whole parts of MIDI data inside a
sequence it could be necessary to move many tempo entries at once.
For this it is possible to drag the tempo buttons itself. If you
touch and move one tempo button the queue of all buttons right
beside it and the button itself will move.
Dragging tempo buttons
in the workspace window
Please note : If you move the tip of the queue over other tempo
buttons (only possible if you move to the left, the right ones
are content of the queue) the tempo entries of those covered buttons
will be erased before the new tempo entries are inserted at this
point.
