Great tool that does exactly what I want it to

My buddy and I play music with very different set ups, me on a DAW, him on a mostly modular set up and PortaTempo has been incredibly cool already. Lets us transition BPMs between songs in a smooth, organic way without fiddling manually and it’s worked seamlessly. Clever, useful, does what it says on the box. Love this little guy.
