Varispeed FAQ

Varispeed disables the tempo automation lane. Is there any way to make it work with automated tempo?

Sadly it's not possible. : (
The only way it would be possible if I could modify the actual automation. But we don't have access to automation lanes from Max.

There's a pretty time consuming workaround however:

  • change everything with Varispeed, and check the current new tempo.
  • Set Varispeed back to the 0 position.
  • Turn the tempo automation back on, and adjust the whole thing so it matches the "new tempo.
  • Turn off the Tempo change in Varispeed and transpose your project again.

I personally would just simply disable the tempo change if I work with a song that has tempo automations. 

Can you make a real-time version of Varispeed for Live performances? 

Sadly it's not possible. 
Varispeed has to modify a lot of things, like the pitch parameters of Audio clips, the MIDI notes of the MIDI clips, plugin/device parameters and so on. 
and it can't happen immediately. The larger your project, the longer it takes. 

Varispeed doesn't work in Live 10. 

Live 10 is not supported. 
Sadly it's missing a lot of things that makes Varispeed possible. 
For example we can't get access to arrangement audio clips from Max in Live 10.
