I feel like I have looked everywhere for this one and it’s probably right in front on me. How do you change the tempo in Scalar 3 when you are in standalone mode? Thanks.

This is easy (but not obvious): Hover the cursor over the tempo value, left click and keep clicked while moving cursor up or down to make tempo slower or faster:

Thanks, but that was not obvious at all. There should at least be an up/down arrow cursor when you hover over that.
