Appendix A The Playback plug-in 131
Playback information display
The information display shows information about several key aspects of your audio material and
lets you edit some of the displayed values.
Information Display parameters
•
Position eld: Shows the current position in hours, minutes, and seconds (when Sync is o), or
in bars and beats (when Sync is on).
•
Length eld: Displays the overall length of the loaded audio le in hours, minutes, and seconds
(when Sync is o), or in bars and beats (when Sync is on).
•
Meter eld: When Sync is on, lets you dene the meter (time signature) of the audio le. The
bar and beat values can be altered independently. Editing the Meter eld changes the ruler
display, and may alter the Length eld display, but has no impact on audio playback.
•
Tempo eld: Displays the MainStage concert tempo in beats per minute when Sync is on.
Playback follows only a single, constant tempo. The Tempo eld is disabled when Sync is o.
Note: Because Playback instances use the concert tempo when Sync is on, you can use audio
les recorded at dierent tempos, and have them all play back at the same tempo (the concert
tempo).
•
Fade Time eld: Sets the fade-out time in seconds. Drag vertically to adjust this value. Click the
Fade button to start or stop a fade-out.
•
Pitch elds: Transpose audio playback when Sync is on. Drag vertically in either the semi or
cent eld to transpose the audio le in semitones or cents (1/100 of a semitone). The Pitch
elds are disabled when Sync is o.
