Anyone knows how to accurately enter 87.9 as a tempo from the hardware, for example.
When you douibletap the tempo and the numpad apears itdoes not have a decimal sign. and moving the finger over the big tempo number is not quite accurate as far as I have been trying. I RTFM looking for an answer but I didn't find one, maybe I passed over it while reading.

Ok thank you. I had to be more clear. That does work on the main panel as the ren, but if you go to sample edit and try to timestretch a sample and try to put 87.9 in the target tempo, you'll get 879.0 tempo. it seem that while you move the finger through the big tempo number you can change the decimals but the whole numbers go crazy, maybe there is a way.

Yes. I thought it was maybe me being dumb and don't knowing how. Maybe someone that has had the unit more time can shed some light on this. Thank you!

Here you go - don't double tap, just single tap 'New Tempo', hold down SHIFT and turn the data wheel to get .1 increments. Without shift the data wheel gives increments of 1.

But yes, option for a number pad decimal would be good as well, we all like more options :)

I still miss my underscores when naming files, it's an industry standard, but both the MPC Software and Touch UI only allow hyphens.

Wow thank you so much i've must passed over that.
I would suggest that they add the following touch feature, with the finger on the whole number you get one increments up and down -1 increments, and when putting the finger on the decinal number you move that, more intuitive i guess. Try moving your finger in the big number and you'll only get messy fast number movement up/down and Right/Left.
The shift solution must be for now, I didn't know that.

You can't change it to a decimal value in the time stretch field or tempo match, if I remember correctly.

Ill try holding down shift in that menu.
