Forum: Wishes and new features

Topic: ability to set range limits for fluid BPM detection (for a song or selection of songs)
hi, love the new features for fluid bpm, however there is a slight problem.

some genres of music are prone to BPM doubling , salsa music is one culprit. it benefits a lot from fluid bpm mode because the tempo fluctuates a lot, but this music sufferes from the problem where VDJ can interpret a 80bpm song as 160 , 90 as 180 etc.... under fluid mode it can jump between these in the middle of the song

it doesnt make sense to globally limit the bpm range, because some other complementary genres will need to use the higher bpms ( 170bpm etc) such as merengue

so i think it has to be set manually, by the dj, based on knowledge of the genres of music. (unless it can be automated by genre)

so my request is that there be a feature to set a bpm range limit when doing fluid bpm mode (maybe in the bpm editor?) or it could be as a script for custom button, if anyone kows a script for it ,please let me know as that would certainly solve it

i think my ideal solution would be 2 custom buttons
Fluid bpm salsa (70-120bpm)
Fluid bpm open (no limit)

CUSTOM BUTTON (cycles between two ranges)
setting fluidRange "90-110" ? setting fluidRange "150-200" : setting fluidRange "90-110"

CUSTOM BUTTON NAME (displays Range)
`setting fluidRange

for auto changue assigned to genre.
ONSONGLOAD
get_genre & param_equal "Other" ? setting "fluidRange" "150-200" : param_equal "Hardcore" ? setting "fluidRange" "90-150" : param_equal "Jumpstyle" ? setting "fluidRange" "80-190" : setting "fluidRange" "100-350"
if no genre asigned the last Range will set.

Have fun!!
 
I couldn't find the setting under options
I think I'll do a quick video on it
Thanks 😊
 
Here it is:
 
Hi @klausmogensen !!!
It is an honor for me that this script encouraged you to make the video.
Without a doubt you have the best informative channel dedicated to VDJ.
I don't miss any video you upload and I have learned a lot from them.
Nice to contribute no matter how little...
Regards!!!
