Nah, I think he means being able to change tempo in the middle of a song/pattern.
I use it to double the tempo in some situations to get 64th notes for stuff like snare buzzes with the note repeat button. The 32nd notes just aren't fast enough sometimes.
You can get more subtle shifts at double the speed too

Sometimes I spin that round turny thing in the middle, it seems pretty useful but I'm still experimenting

Yeah like make the tempo increase each bar to make a build up. Bar 2 90bpm... Bar 3 91bpm.... bar 4 92bpm and so on...

anyone do that in a beat before?? I was fukin around with it last night

Sometimes it is nice at the very end of a song to slow it right down over a few bars, instead of a fade out. Drop your tempo by about -5 BPM every beat so your track finishes at around 10 BPM.
