something

the

only

 

until

 

the

 

next

 

beat

 

before

 

stopping

 

when

 

released.

 

Depending

 

on

 

when

 

you

 

release

 

the

 

riff

 

it

 

will

 

stop

 

in

 

sync

 

with

 

a

 

beat,

 

but

 

it

 

may

 

be

 

on

 

an

 

upbeat

 

or

 

a

 

downbeat.

With

 

RelSynTyp

 

set

 

to

 

DownBeatWait

,

 

the

 

riff

 

will

 

wait

 

for

 

the

 

downbeat

 

of

 

the

 

next

 

measure

 

to

 

stop

 

when

 

released.

 

The

 

difference

 

from

 

DownBeat

 

is

 

that

 

if

 

there

 

is

 

nothing

 

playing

 

to

to,

 

the

 

riff

 

wont

 

stop

 

when

 

released.

 

If

 

another

 

riff

 

is

 

already

 

running,

just
