I'm using a DJS-1000 with Hip Hop samples that are less than 91 BPM. When I put these particular samples and loops into Master Tempo playback mode, they playback at 50% speed, regardless of where the Tempo Fader or Scene BPM is. The other two playback modes work normally. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Is this a glitch or does the software not work well with files with tempos that low?
The workarounds are simple, either don't use Master Tempo....or make the overall BPM for that Scene with these samples 2x. So my Scene with the 90 BPM samples is set to an overall BPM of 180. (I just have to remember now that the second beat is at 9 on the sequencer and not 5, like in all my other scenes.) Not a big deal, it just seems kind of weird that the cutoff is so high at 91 BPM - I get 75 or 80 BPM. This is a little annoying considering the role samplers have traditionally played in Hip Hop. If I was given a settings choice, like in Rekordbox, I'd select a BPM Range like 68 - 135.
