Available Note Values
The note values that are available for selection are listed in the table below. The values
are listed in musical notation as a division of measures. For example 1/4 = one quarter
note, 1/1 = one whole note, 4/1 = four whole notes, and so forth.
The available note values were chosen to allow syncing to tempo in odd time signatures
as well the common 4/4 time signature.
LFO rate parameters have their note values listed from longest to shortest, since long
note values correspond to slow LFO rates.

Tempo Sync available note values
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 musical beats (for
example, 6/8) or different fractions of a bar (such as 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 tempo BPM value in Realtime Rack’s 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
• 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
