Tempo Display
This area displays the tempo value of the Active Snapshot in BPM
(beats per minute) and facilitates selection of a different tempo.
The tempo value is used by time‑based UAD plug‑ins (such as delays and echos) that are
set to use their Tempo Sync features. For details about how to use UAD plug‑ins with this
feature, see
The Tempo value is stored within the Snapshot; therefore each Snapshot can contain
a unique tempo. The available tempo range is from 1.00 BPM to 999.00 BPM. The
default tempo of a new Snapshot is 120 BPM.
