Bars and Beats
The R-1’s extensive Title Time display now includes
Bars, Beats, and Ticks
. When
selected, the time locator accepts and displays time information in these more musically
meaningful units. A tempo map editing page permits up to 16 tempo regions per Title.
A click track can be created using one imported WAV file for the beat marks of the cur-
rent tempo map and a second WAV file for the downbeat (see
Create a Click Track
on
page 23).
Bars and Beats time display differs from other display modes because it depends on the
tempo and time signature, both of which can change independently during a single title.
The R-1 represents these changes as a tempo region; there can be 16 regions per Title.
2.3.1
Tempo and Time Signature
A
beat
is one unit of the bottom number of the time signature. For example, in 3/4 time,
a beat is one quarter note. Tempo is represented as
beats per minute
(bpm); the allow-
able range is 1–960 bpm. The top number in the time signature indicates the number of
beats per measure.
NOTE:
We recommend programming the time and tempo changes into your R-1 Title before
recording. Then use the click track feature to provide a reference for recording.
