Modular Components of the TimewARP 2600
4.1.11.3
Load Microtuning
You may also load alternate tunings for the keyboard.
These are described in Appendix 6.1. The TimewARP
2600 does not allow you to modify these tunings or to
save or create new ones.
Microtunings
are a global attribute of the keyboard;
once loaded, the tuning will govern anything you play
until you load a different one, regardless of your patch
changes
4.1.11.4
MIDI Beat Synchronization
You may synchronize the
Internal
Clock (IC)
(see section 4.13), to
the
MIDI Beat Clock (MBC)
by
specifying the number of
MBC
pulses per IC transition. As a
reference, there are 24
MBC
pulses per quarter note.
The keyboard
LFO
(see section
4.14.1) may also be synchronized
to incoming the
MBC,
independently of the
Internal Clock.
Setting different sync counts for these is a fun way to program complex rhythms that are locked to
the tempo of your MIDI tracks.
In order for the
MBC
messages to be sent to the TimewARP 2600, you must enable
MIDI Beat Clock
in
the Pro Tools MIDI Menu, and select the TimewARP 2600 as a recipient of these messages. Also,
MBC
messages are only sent when the Pro Tools transport control is running.
MBC
synchronization is a
MBC synchronization is a MBC
patch
attribute,
not
a
not a not
global
one; the sync counts you set here will be stored
global one; the sync counts you set here will be stored global
with the current patch when you save it.
