Tempo Display
This area displays the tempo value of the Active Snapshot in BPM
(beats per minute) and facilitates selection of a different tempo.
The tempo value is used by time-based UAD plug-ins (such as delays
and echos) that are set to use their Tempo Sync features. For details about how to use
UAD plug-ins with this feature, see
“Tempo Sync” on page 138 .
The Tempo value is stored within the Snapshot; therefore each Snapshot can contain a
unique tempo. The available tempo range is from 1.00 BPM to 999.00 BPM. The de-
fault tempo of a new Snapshot is 120 BPM.
