Synchronic Plug-in Guide18
Sound Module
The Sound module can store and recall up to
twelve audio files. On import, audio files are
loaded into RAM and are saved with the plug-in
settings file.
In Edit mode, you can import, delete, and
“slice” audio files (loops). When Synchronic
“slices up” an audio file, it automatically edits
the file (loop) into regions—according to its
own sophisticated internal transient detection
algorithms—based on musical criteria, such as
meter, number of bars, and subdivisions of the
beat. In this way, Synchronic can quickly and
easily isolate individual hits in rhythmic loops.
Each slice is played back in tempo by synchro-
nizing to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock.
In Performance mode (RTAS only) the Sound
module can play back any of its twelve presets
independently on both the A and B channels
(Sound A and Sound B).
Sound Performance Mode
(RTAS Only)
Performance mode lets you recall and interact
with different audio files and loops loaded into
Synchronic.
Sound Presets
Sound presets recall audio files loaded in Syn-
chronic. In Performance mode, Sound presets
are numbered from 1–12 and are arranged in
two banks located above and below the Wave-
form display. Each Sound preset may contain an
individual mono or stereo audio file of any bit
depth or sample rate. Selecting a Sound preset
will instantly recall the audio file (loop) for play-
back. You can select a Sound preset by clicking
the desired preset button, or by pressing the cor-
responding key on your MIDI keyboard.
Performance mode applies only to the RTAS
version of Synchronic.
