UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 67 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
A quarter note is always a quarter note, independent of the time signature. In
different time signatures a quarter note can represent different numbers of mu-
sical beats (e.g. 6/8 ) or different fractions of a bar (e.g. 5/4). For example,
say the time signature is 6/8 and the delay time tempo sync note value is
1/4. If a sound occurs on beat one of the measure then its delay will occur on
beat 3, which is 1/4 note (i.e. two 8th notes) later.
Note: The “beat” value in a sequencer's BPM tempo setting always refers to
a quarter note, independent of time signature.
Range Limits Some parameters in Tempo Sync mode cannot access the entire note value
range in Table 4, because their maximum values would always be out of
range above certain note values (assuming a maximum usable tempo of 300
BPM; 250BPM for Roland RE-201). These parameter limits are:
• DM-1, RS-1 time – 300ms: maximum 1/4D
• DM-1L time – 2400ms: maximum 3/1
• Nigel Echo time – 1200ms: maximum 1/1D
• Nigel Tremolo fade in/onset – 4000ms: maximum 5/1
• Roland RE-201 Head 1 range: 5/32 – 1/64
• Roland RE-201 Head 2 range: 1/4 – 1/32
• Roland RE-201 Head 3 range: 1/2T – 1/32D
Entering Values In addition to adjusting the parameter knob, the two following methods can
be used for entering Tempo Sync values.
