Synchronizing Envelopes to the Host Application

You can synchronize the envelopes to the tempo of your host application. This allows you to set envelope times that relate to musical time intervals, regardless of any tempo changes.

Procedure

  1. Click Sync to activate sync mode for the envelope.

    Sync mode is active if the button is highlighted. A grid spaced in fractions of beats is displayed in the graphical envelope editor.

  2. From the pop-up menu located to the right of the Sync button, select a note value.

    This sets the resolution of the grid.

    Note

    The Time field of a node displays times in fractions of beats. The fraction is always reduced to the smallest possible value. 2/16 is displayed as 1/8, for example.

  3. To use triplet note values, activate the Triplets button.
    Note

    • Envelope nodes that do not exactly match a note value display the closest note value.

    • Nodes that match a note value exactly are indicated by a red dot inside the handle of the node. This is useful if you switch the grid between triplets and normal note values, for example. The triplet nodes still indicate that they match a note value, even if the grid shows normal note values.

    You can also enter note values and triplets manually in the value field.
