Playback Presets
Twelve Playback presets let you recall stored
playback effects.
Selecting a preset recalls the last edited set of pa-
rameters for the preset. Playback presets let you
invoke different playback manipulations in
rapid succession, to create a compelling musical
performance. Presets can also be used to store
sound design variations for use in a Pro Tools
session.
Playback User Knobs (PB1 and PB2)
The Playback module provides two assignable
User Knob controls (PB1 and PB2) that provide
direct control over any of the Playback module’s
Edit mode settings. The current control assign-
ment is displayed below each User Knob.
Playback Edit Mode
In Edit mode, you can edit the Playback param-
eters for the selected preset.
Playback Mode
The Playback module provides five playback
modes: Standard, Stretch, Stab, Spin, and Smear.
These modes determine the character of each
slice as it is played—how each slice is played
back.
Standard
Plays each slice without any additional
manipulation and plays each slice from start to
end.
Stretch
Uses a granular time compression/ex-
pansion technique to make a slice “fit” the
amount of time the slice has to play. The Play-
back Offset settings can be used to further in-
crease the stretch factor for extreme granulation
effects (see “Playback Offset” on page 32).

Selecting Playback Mode
If the playback tempo is slower than the
original tempo such that it creates a gap be-
tween the end of one slice and the beginning
of the next, Synchronic will extend the first
slice according to the setting of the Slice Ex-
tension Option in the Sound module (see
“Options” on page 25).
