Metric Modulation
The Metric Modulation function looks at the first thing entered into Met 1 of each item in a Playlist, then attempts to set tempos so they all play back at a consistent rate.
For example, let’s say:
– The first item in the Playlist has a 1/4 note in Met 1, and the tempo is 120.
- The second item in the Playlist is 8th notes in Met 1.
To apply Metric Modulation and make these two rates sound the same:
1. Tap the edit button (the pencil in the top right) and Select All, then tap Actions.
2. Choose Tempo Options -> Apply Metric Modulation
This will set the tempo of the second item to be 60bpm. This means that the 8th notes will play at the same rate that the 1/4 note in Met 1 played.
This works for any number of items and can be used for different effects.
