Tempo Sync

The time-based parameters of some UAD plug-ins can be synchronized to the tempo of
the host application using the Tempo Sync feature.

Note: Not all DAW applications support Tempo Sync. In these hosts, the tempo
sync features will not function.

When Tempo Sync is activated, the time-based parameters that are available for
synchronization are changed to note duration values, and will sync to the tempo of the
host application using the displayed note value.
