This can be adjusted with 2 buttons
The tempo can be changed with an infinite knob on some midi keyboards

The two button solution is not that way i want to adjust tempo and transpose.
A fader solution is more useful and not claiming the hardware so much.
Pressing knops hundreds a day will cause in malfunction soon, and its not that comfortable.

This can be done only if you have infinite knobs
Finite knobs and faders are not OK to control tempo
TEMPO ENCODER function is available in vArranger for some midi controllers
Transpose is always buttons on every keyboard, as it need to be precise

Hey Dan,

do you have a favorite keyboard to work with the vArranger?

Cheers Stefan

Arturia Keylab MkII and Novation Sl61 Mk3 have both infinite knobs, but prefer Arturia because the better keys.
Using fader for tempo and transpose in all programs i m using.
I dont know any midi keyboard with an programable encoder.
The encoder from keylab is not usable as midi fader, except Analog Lab.

I have here a Arturia Keylab MkII and I will work soon to add compatibility for this keyboard in vArranger
It seems to have a lot of possibilities.
The form factor, layout is nice. Not sure about the touch
Unfortunately they have now released the mkIII version that seems to have less buttons.
I tend to prefer Fatar keybeds with some external midi controllers.
I also bought a cheap M-VAVE SMC-Mixer, I will work on that too

Faders are sending midi cc from value 0 to 127. They are not suitable to control the full range of the tempo and are not enough precise to control safely features other than volumes, reverb etc...

By the way, I will work on it and you will be able to change the tempo with the 8 infinite knobs of the Keylab mkII

The Mk III was step in the wrong direction from Arturia.
Less Ports, less Buttons (espacially the amount of free configurable buttons makes it interresting), for the same price as the Mk II.
I would never my MkII trade in for an MkIII.

That i was meaning, the 9 knobs behind the fader, sorry for my poor english acknowledge.
Thought they were called fader too.

Thank for giving your best to get the knobs usable.
