Chapter 20: Snapshots 209
Adding Media Data to Snapshots
When the Media data type is scoped for a snapshot, one of the fol-
lowing USB 2-track Transport commands is available per snap-
shot:
Play This command initiates playback of the track (or tracks)
from the Playlist on the Media > Playback page when the snap-
shot is recalled. The desired Playlist track is chosen from the
track pop-up menu.
The following Play options are provided:
• When
Play only this track is selected, only the track selected
from the pop-up menu is played back. When it is not se-
lected, play back of the Playlist commences with the track
selected from the pop-up menu.
• When
Repeat is selected, play back of the selected track or
playlist is repeated until stopped.
Record This command initiates recording to a connected USB
drive when the snapshot is recalled. The name for the recording
can be entered into the associated text field.
Stop Transport This command stops USB 2-track transport when
the snapshot is recalled.
Only one action (playback, recording, or stop) is available for
each snapshot.
Displaying Media Data
To view Media data for snapshots in the MIDI/Plug-Ins/Media list:
1 Target the snapshot you want to modify, or select multiple
snapshots in the list.
2 Double-click Media in the MIDI/Plug-Ins/Media list header to
expand the Media list.
Adding Tempo Data to Snapshots
The Snapshots list can be toggled to display Tempo, along with a
Tempo On/Off indicator for each snapshot entry.
Storing a tempo with snapshots lets your system tempo change
per song or scene. This lets you take full advantage of Tempo
Sync (aka Tap Tempo) to synchronize delay and echo plug-ins.

 Right-click anywhere in the Snapshots list and choose Show

To change the units for Tempo display:

2 In the Tap Tempo section, click to select BPM or ms.
Assigning and Enabling a Tempo
Each snapshot can store a custom tempo value. You can manually
enter a custom tempo, or use a shortcut to assign the current Sys-
tem Tempo.
You can use the Tempo Enable icon to enable or disable tempo
recall when the associated snapshot is recalled.

to change, then do one of the following:
• From the keyboard, type a new tempo value.

• Press the Up and Down Arrow keys to increase and de-
crease the selected value.
