I would like to know has anyone used the beat detect with the Live Software or X software?

I would like to use it because it is essential for me if I want to get back into sampling, the way I have seen it work in the Ren Software is so easy. I am trying to identify where it is in the 2.0 Software and how to get to it.

Yeah l needed to know it was in the same spot in 2.0 software. Thanks this is great.

Hey Kay was that bug in version 1.8 or 1.9 software? I haven't heard of a bug in w.0 if you have let me know.

It's in 2.0 in the software and hardware. It will default to 30 bpm occasionally when you are doing any real time stretching.

The fastest way to find out the BPM of a sample?
Go to sample edit > timestretch, and enter the number of beats in the sample, and it'll show you its BPM (e.g., if it's 2 bars long, enter 8 beats, and it'll show you the BPM).
Not on my MPC right now but I think that's it.
