Was wondering if there’s any way to get the host BPM? Tried looking through the docs, but couldn’t find anything.

I tried this, like in Cabbage 2:

`gkBPM chnget "HOST_BPM"`

But didn’t have any success with it 🤔

Another new build triggered. You can now use all the old Cabbage 2 channels for host information. Example:

```cpp
instr 1
    bpm:k, bpmTrig:k = cabbageGetValue("HOST_BPM")
    printf("Selected BPM: %d", bpmTrig, bpm)
endin

```
