Here's a link to a bpm calculator that should be able to help get you closer than .5 bpm.

Being exact is Absolutely physically impossible in a live situation. Sound to ear processed to brain then to hands makes this impossible. Even if those parameters in the axe were available
How far do we go? To the nano or picosecond??? No value to it
Why is it a "pain" to have? Don't want a decimal BPM, don't set your tempo to a decimal BPM. What's wrong with having the option? Other products (Helix) allow this.
Then ingore the feature if/when it’s implemented. The same way I ignore the 200 other dials that I don’t need in the Axe that exist. Not sure what you have to lose here. And for the record.... I CAN tell when my heavy dotted eighth syncopated delay feels slightly off because the track is at 72.5 and my delay is set to 73.
as i mentioned earlier, if everyone is forced to use decimals in BPM, when using the Value wheel to set the BPM directly on the front panel, this now means i have to turn through decimals, when i personally don't have the need to. turning slowly, i don't have to only worry about 123, 124, 125, to get to 126. i now have to go 124.01, 124.02, 124.03... etc to get to 126. i'm sure that it would "ramp up" so i quickly jump over many decimals, but at some point, i'll have to turn slowly to get to a whole number. even from 125 bpm to get to 126, assuming x.xx bpm, that's 100 values i now need to turn through.
that's why i asked for this to be optional, if implemented. if i'm on stage, using the front panel, i want things to be set quickly. having to turn this precisely to avoid the decimals is something i don't want to do.
that is why some of us aren't ignoring this, and discussing it. people can wish for whatever they want. that doesn't mean a) they immediately get it or b) that everyone agrees. one man's wish can be another man's hassle.
that's a great alternate option, though i'm sure someone would need 101.5That’s fair on the wheel spin..... I’ll admit I wasn’t considering that issue, since I either dial a preset in with tempo on Axe Edit, or tap in on the fly. An alternate consideration (outside of the global option parameter, which I’d be totally fine with) would be to take the Strymons Timeline approach. Only add the tempos on decimal values under 100. Above 100 it remains whole notes.
the OP explained why it would make his life easier while being aware of the available work arounds.
Just let him have his wish list item without explaining to him why he doesn't need it.
