MIDI Tempo Scope

MIDI Tempo Scope is a live, read-ahead conductor tempo display for orchestral recording sessions. Load the session's click file and it shows the complete tempo map ahead of the playhead - every accelerando and ritardando laid out before it arrives - locked precisely to your DAW. Built by John Walton from many years on the podium, it solves the oldest problem of recording to click: not knowing what the tempo is about to do.

The display: a colour-coded read-ahead curve (blue steady, green speeding up, red slowing down), locked to the playhead through play, stop and drop-ins, with a visual metronome, emphasised downbeat, and live tempo, next-change and bar:beat readouts.

Editions: Windows desktop app (coming to the Microsoft Store) and a VST3 plugin for Cubase, Sonar and other DAWs (Windows & macOS), synced sample-accurately to the host transport - an add-on for app owners. Pro Tools|AAX support planned.

Coming soon. For launch news or early access for your studio, email john@cinemagicscoring.com
