Problem with tempo automation.

Firstly, hello there.

I have a problem with the tempo automation :

I'm working on a remix of an Undertale OST, called Power of NEO. And in it, I try to put the melody of another OST called Death Report.

However, when the BPM is at the right speed for Power of NEO, it's way too slow for Death Report, and if I put the right BPM for Death Report, then it is too fast for Power of NEO.

So I checked some topics in the forums about the problem of BPM, and most of them were fixed by using the tempo automation.

But there is my problem, because the tempo automation tempo allows me to change the BPM in the beginning of the song only.

Note : On the second picture, the song is not playing, it's only me who put the playing icone to the specific moment where the Death Report melody stop.

So, on the first picture, I can only change BPM up to about 30 seconds, but the Death Report melody only start to play at 1 minute and 50 seconds. How can I fix this problem ?

No, you can change the BPM as many times you like, but you need to use a sloped automation-curve!
If you add a very steep curve with linear-progression in a proper Automation-track, then you can control BMP as many times you like.

Only... what OS and what LMMS-vers?

If I use the linear-progression, the tempo will change slightly until to be at the Death Report melody tempo, right ? Because I would like to have only one tempo change, just before the beginning of the Death Report melody.

Also, when I use an automation track, I can only set the tension, and not the BPM...

You need to drag the BMP gadget into an Automationtrack, just as any other controller, you like to automate. Read about automation here:

I would advise you to upgrade to LMMS RC7!
You should follow these guidelines:
*Back-up your own stuff
*Un-install current installation
*(re)move the config dot-file
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=LM ... h_Settings
*download a fresh new installation-pack either x32 or x64 of
LMMS 1.2.0 RC7 Orange buttons!

*re-install as administrator and grant all users access
