Tempo control on S8

Does anybody know of a secret (or obvious) trick to make smooth tempo changes?
with the lack of a tempo fader, it’s only possible to change tempo with increments of 1 BPM or 0.01 BPM.
1 BPM is mostly to fast and sudden, and 0.01 BPM… takes an awful lot of knob turning to go up or down a few beats!

It would be so nice to have tempo change with increments of 0.25 BPM or even 0.5 would be better already.

any workaround for this?

thanks!!!

Partially the usefulness of this could depend on what kind of music you’re mixing - but in my experience man, making a tempo change as the track hits a new phrase or breakdown, is great time to do it, as the new phrase or change in the song makes a great disguise for the change in tempo :wink:

In that instance, your 1 BPM change will not be as obvious.
