Arrow Keys
After clicking the parameter to select it, the arrow keys can be used to scroll through
available note values.
Text Entry
Direct text entry is also available (see
can be entered (fraction or decimal), and the values are automatically converted to the
nearest appropriate setting.
For example: If 3/4 or 6/8 is entered using text entry, 1/2D is displayed because a dotted
half note equals three quarter notes, which is the duration of one measure in a time
signature of 3/4 or 6/8. If 12/8 is entered with text entry, 1/1D is displayed because a
dotted whole note equals six quarter notes, which is the duration of one measure in a
time signature of 12/8 (or two measures in a time signature of 3/4 or 6/8).
This means you can create a tempo sync duration of one measure for any time signature
by simply typing in the time signature (assuming there is a match in the beat table).
Similarly, if 1/12 is entered with text entry, 1/8T is displayed because an eighth note
triplet is equivalent to one‑twelfth of a measure (if in 4/4 time).
Precision Delay Modes with Tempo Sync
The UAD Precision Delay Mod and UAD Precision Delay Mod L plug‑ins have a Mode
menu that switches the plug‑in operation between delay, chorus, and flanger mode. In
these plug‑ins, when the Mode is set to DUAL DELAY and PING PONG, the delay Time
and modulation Rate parameters are simultaneously available for Tempo Sync.
However, when the plug‑in is set to a CHORUS or FLANGER mode, only the Rate is
available for Tempo Sync. This enables the more typical and musical chorus/flange
effect by only syncing the modulation Rate to the tevmpo while the delay time remains
constant.
Galaxy Tape Echo & Roland RE-201 Sync
When the Galaxy Tape Echo and Roland RE‑201
plug‑ins are in Tempo Sync mode, note values
can be imprecise due to the fixed tape head
relationships.
Values that are imprecise approximations (but are within the available delay time
range) are displayed with a “+” or “‑” symbol. The leading head in the current mode is
accurately synced; the other values are based on the fixed tape head relationship.
Note: When a parameter note value is out of range of the current tempo note value
in these plug-ins, the note value flashes instead of in being parentheses.
