The Change Tempo app changes the playback speed of a MIDI or MusicXML file by applying a tempo multiplier. A value above 1 makes the piece faster, while a value below 1 makes it slower.
This is useful for practice tracks, rehearsal material, alternate versions of a composition, or quick experiments with feel and speed. The app accepts MIDI and MusicXML files and returns a tempo-adjusted MIDI file.
Helpful background: Tempo, MIDI, MusicXML.
