Does tempo influence a brain\'s composing

Post by Dumb_on_Drums »

If I have have a song that is 105BPM and recompose it at 999BPM to speed along the process, will it influence what the brain plays? The thought to try it never comes to me when I'm using Jamstix.

It shouldn't affect composition but rather playback. With "Enable Limb Controls" on under options it will if the tempo of the song is too high, not allowing sufficient time for the drummer to transition to the next event. This can be "tweaked" with the drummer speed controls under General Options.

I tried it with a couple of composes at 999BPM. It doesn't seem to have any negative effect on playback. The playback sounds the same as when it was composed at normal speed.

I kind of posted this so I 'd remember to give it a try.

I figured it might cause issues with the playback. I was wondering if playback during compose that they were independent of each other. it appears they are.

It will be useful for experimenting with swapping parts in and out to try with different drummers.
