We are very sensitive that we have not yet delivered Tempo change. It IS a high priority, but we have had a number of road blocks that stalled us.
We spent several man-months of time on Tempo in 5.00 - making Tempo THE most expensive investment in Hoster 5.00 - so it WAS planned in October 2010. We could not anticipate that
Remove Silence Mode and
Live Sync Slider would interact so disasterously with the lyrics stayinng in sync while the tempo changed.
Here are the facts at this moment:
1. We now have quality Tempo Change SOURCE code to use, that will be compiled into Hoster, not linking to an "add on" product from a third party vendor you can't get help from.
2. The AUDIO Tempo change works extremely well. It is the speeding up or slowing down the lyrics to stay in sync is giving us grief.
3. We DID implement a LIVE, ON-THE-FLY ADJUSTABLE slider up until 5.00 Beta 18 or 19 just before releaase. Yo ucan see its "reserved" location on the Hoster screen to the left of the Vol: slider, and above the Key change 11 buttons.
Lonman, as a Beta Tester you should have pointed that out, not request it
4. When released, the Tempo Slider
WILL work with Remove Silence Mode.
5. When released, the Tempo Slider
will NOT work with the Live Sync Adjust slider. Both of these sliders can change the playing location of the lyrics. We simply don't want to tackle this dual-change in the Tempo code, which is very touchy anyway.
If you adjust Tempo first, you get tempo change, but the Live Sync Slider cannot adjust during that song.
If you adjust Live Sync Slider first, you get that, but the Tempo slider cannot adjust during that song.
I had to make the above tradeoffs to get us moving again. Now these decisions are made, once we finish the bug fixes in 5.01, 5.02... then we will add Tempo into Hoster 5.10. The new code will require at LEAST a month of Beta Testing. Thus, it is at least 2 months off.
