Pro Tools 101_ An Introduction to Pro Tools 11 ( PDFDrive )

Manual Tempo Mode and Tap Tempo
In Manual Tempo mode, Pro Tools will ignore the tempo events in the Tempo
Ruler. In this mode, the tempo can be adjusted by typing a value directly into
the CURRENT TEMPO field in the Transport window. The tempo can also be
tapped in using a MIDI controller or the T key on your computer. Manually
adjusting the tempo during playback will momentarily interrupt playback.
To put Pro Tools into Manual Tempo mode, click to deselect the TEMPO
RULER ENABLE button in the Transport window.
Setting the Session Key Signature
When you open a new session in Pro Tools, the key signature defaults to C
major. If you intend to use the key signature functionality in Pro Tools, make
sure to set the key signature for your session correctly. If you know the key
you will use for the session, you can insert a Key Change event at the
beginning of the session to change the key of the session.
Key Change events, which can occur anywhere within a Pro Tools session,
are registered and displayed using the Key Signature Ruler.
To set the session key signature, do the following:
1. With the Key Signature Ruler displayed, click on the ADD KEY
SIGNATURE button.
