Synchronic Sound Module
Overview
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. You can toggle between Sound Per-
formance mode and Sound Edit mode.
In Sound Performance mode (see “Synchronic
Sound Performance Mode” on page 574) the
Sound module can play back any of its twelve
presets independently on both the A and B chan-
nels (Sound A and Sound B).
In Sound Edit mode (see “Synchronic Sound
Edit Mode” on page 575), you can import, de-
lete, and “slice” audio files (loops). When Syn-
chronic “slices up” an audio file, it automati-
cally edits the file (loop) into clips—according
to its own sophisticated internal transient de-
tection 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 syn-
chronizing to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock.
Synchronic 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
playback. You can select a Sound preset by click-
ing the desired preset button, or by pressing the
corresponding key on your MIDI keyboard.
Performance mode applies only to the RTAS
version of Synchronic.
