Synchronic Overview
This chapter describes an overview of Synchro-
nic features.
Synchronic Modules
Synchronic has a modular configuration for the
import, slicing, playback, and manipulation of
audio files (loops). Synchronic’s five modules
are: Sound, Playback, Effect, XFade, and MIDI.
Sound Module Can load up to twelve different
audio files, either mono or stereo, of any bit
depth and sample rate. After importing a file, it
can be sliced up to play in synchronization with
the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock. Any two sounds
(A and B) can be played back simultaneously.
Playback Module Manipulates the output of the
Sound module. Various aspects of sound play-
back, such as speed, order, and direction are
controlled by the Playback module.
Effect Module Processes the output of the Play-
back module. Four concurrent effects are avail-
able: Gain, Noise, Filter, and Delay.
XFade Module (RTAS Only) Mixes the A and B
sounds after they have been processed by the
Sound, Playback, and Effect modules. The cross-
fade between the A and B sounds can be con-
trolled either in Preset or Manual mode.
MIDI Module (RTAS Only) Lets you assign and
trigger combinations of sounds and presets us-
ing MIDI. You can also map MIDI controllers to
Synchronic controls.
