Input BPM Calculator
Pitch ’n Time LE for Pro Tools provides
control over the input parameters via
the input BPM calculator. The fields
default to the session variables and
selection length.
Commonly known as time signature, the Meter denotes how many beats in a bar and what note value, or duration, is one
beat. In the example shown, 4 quarter notes (or crotchets) make one bar. This is also referred to as “four four” or “common
time”. This field assists the plug-in to calculate the bars and beats from the BPM or vice versa.
By entering the length of the current selection in terms of bars and beats, Bars:Beats, Pitch ’n Time LE will calculate the
BPM for you.
The Minutes field displays the length of the current selection in minutes and seconds.
Beats per minute, or BPM, defaults to your session settings. By entering the BPM of the current selection Pitch ’n Time
LE will calculate the bars and beats for you.
Tempo Controls
The amount of time compression or
expansion is displayed to the left of the
tempo slider in terms of output BPM
(in relation to the input BPM), and as
a percentage of the original tempo.
Moving the tempo slider updates
these fields, likewise entering values
into the fields updates the slider.
Output Length
The length of the output region determined by the tempo
controls will be displayed in the output length panel. If you
have a specific length to conform to, enter the value here
in either minutes and seconds or samples and the tempo
controls will update with their corresponding values.
