Tempo, Time Signature, Bars And Beats - Propellerhead ReCycle Operation Manual

Tempo, Time Signature,
Bars and Beats
Many of the operations in ReCycle require you to specify how long the loop be-
tween the Locators actually is, meter-wise. This information is then used to cal-
culate the tempo of the loop.
Time Signature
The Sign pop-up menu allows you to choose between a few of the more com-
mon Time Signatures. If none of them fit your purpose, you can still "assemble" a
correct Time Signature using the Bars and Beats settings, see below.
Bars and Beats
The Bars field and Beats pop-up are used to specify the length of the loop. Let's
explain this by example:
Actual Loop Length Set "Bars" to:
| |
One bar 1
Two bars 2
Half a bar in 4/4 0
One and a half bar in 6/8 1
As stated above, you can use Bars and Beats to "create" some unusual Time
Signatures:
Actual Loop Length Time Signature
| |
Two bars in 7/4 4/4
One bar in 9/8 6/8
Original Tempo
When the Left and Right Locators are set, and the correct Time Signature and
loop Length (Bars and Beats) has been specified, this area will show the calcu-
lated original tempo of the loop.
