For/Back Plays alternating slices forward then
backward.
Back/For Plays alternating slices backward then
forward.
F/B Diddle Plays consecutive slices forward,
backward, forward, forward, backward, for-
ward, backward, backward, and so on.
F/B Beats Plays slices on downbeats (quarter
notes) forward, and all other slices are played
backward.
Random Plays back slices forward or backward
randomly.
Synchronic Playback Pitch
Pitch transposition can range from –60 to +60
semitones. Synchronic provides two pitch mod-
ulating LFOs for Playback Pitch. These LFOs can
be combined to create complex and interesting
modulation patterns.
Enable (On, Off) Enables or disables Pitch mod-
ulation.
BEG and END Range (–60 to +60) Sets the Begin-
ning transposition and End transposition values
(in semitones) referenced by both LFOs.
Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO)
Playback Pitch and Playback Offset, and Gain,
Noise, Filter, and Delay effects can be continu-
ously modulated by one or more Low Frequency
Oscillators (LFO1 and LFO2). Each LFO has a se-
lectable Waveshape and Duration. The LFO will
sweep through the selected waveshape accord-
ing to the selected duration.
If an LFO Waveshape is set to Off, that LFO does
not modulate the associated parameter.
If both LFO waveshapes are set to Off, then only
the BEG parameter will affect the playback
pitch. The END parameter will have no affect on
playback pitch.
LFO Waveshapes Select the modulation wave
shape for LFO1 and LFO2. The available wave
shapes include: Off, Sawtooth, Triangle, Vee,
Square, Short Pulse, Long Pulse, Sawtangle,
Staircase, and Random.
