A tempo may be remped or constant.
-
- A constant tempo will keep the sesion tempo constant until the next tempo section, at which time it will jump instantly to the next tempo.
-These are mostly useful abrupt changes, and is the way in which traditional DAWs deal with tempo changes (abrupt jumps in tempo).

-- A ramped tempo increases its tempo over time so that when the next tempo section has arrived, the sesion tempo is the same as the second one.
-This is useful for matching the session tempo to music which has been recorded without click tracks or electronic clocks.

Ramps may also be used as a compositional tool, but more on this later.
Note that a ramp requires two points - a start and an end tempo. The first tempo in a new session is ramped, but appears to be constant as it has no tempo to ramp to. It is only when you add a new tempo and adjust one of them that you will hear a ramp.
-The same applies to the last tempo in the session - it will always appear to be constant until a new last tempo is added and changed.

+ A ramped tempo marker. The tempo at the playhead position is approaching the second tempo. Because the playhead is equidistant (in beats) between the
+ two markers, the tempo at the playhead is the average of the two.
To add a new tempo, use the primary modifier and click on the tempo line at the desired position.
