Tempo Sync
The time‑based parameters of numerous UAD plug‑ins can be synchronized to the tempo
of the Live Rack software using the Tempo Sync feature. Tempo Sync is supported in
UAD plug‑ins that have a control labeled “Sync” within the plug‑in interface.
Note: The tempo used by UAD plug-ins that are set to Tempo Sync is specified in
the Info Bar or the Settings>MIDI panel within the Live Rack application.
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
Live Rack application using the displayed note value.
Tempo Sync switch within Precision Delay Mod
Sync Activation
To activate Tempo Sync, click the “Sync” button within the plug‑in interface. The Sync
button will illuminate and the time parameters will change from a time‑based display to
a note value, as shown in the screenshot above.
Note: When Tempo Sync is activated, the plug-in will automatically switch the
time or rate parameter(s) to the nearest available note value(s) given the range of
the parameter in question and the current tempo.
Available Tempo Sync Note Values
The note values that are available for selection are listed in the table below. The values
are listed in musical notation as a division of measures. For example 1/4 = one quarter
note, 1/1 = one whole note, 4/1 = four whole notes, and so forth.
The available note values were chosen to allow syncing to tempo in odd time signatures
as well the common 4/4 time signature.
LFO rate parameters have their note values listed from longest to shortest, since long
note values correspond to slow LFO rates.
