Synchronic Sound Performance Mode
Performance mode lets you recall and interact with different audio files and loops loaded into Synchronic.

Sound presets recall audio files loaded in Synchronic. In Performance mode, Sound presets are numbered from 1–12 and are arranged in two banks located above and below the Waveform display. Each Sound preset may contain an individual mono or stereo audio file of any bit depth or sample rate. Selecting a Sound preset will instantly recall the audio file (loop) for playback. You can select a Sound preset by clicking the desired preset button, or by pressing the corresponding key on your MIDI keyboard.
In Performance mode, two sounds can be queued for playback, much like a typical DJ setup with two turntables: one on the “A Side” and one on the “B Side.” Both the Sound A and B use the same twelve sound presets. The waveform for Sound A appears above the waveform for Sound B; and each waveform is labeled on the left “A” and “B.”
When Sound A and B are playing simultaneously, you can isolate one of the sounds by clicking the A or B labels to the left of the Waveform display. The Crossfade fader in the XFade module will move to one side or the other, effectively muting the non-selected sound.
In Performance mode, the Sound module displays two waveforms for the A and B sounds. The Waveform display shows the currently selected audio file (loop). The Waveform display can show both mono and stereo audio loops for the A and B sides.
During playback, the Waveform animates to indicate the pulse of the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock. Clicking on the Sound module’s Waveform display during playback will reposition playback to that location in the waveform. You can create syncopated rhythms by repeatedly clicking the waveform in either the A Sound or the B Sound during playback. Alt-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac) the Waveform display re-synchronizes playback with the current Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock location (according to bars and beats).
You can only start or stop Synchronic playback using the Pro Tools Transport. Any Synchronic insert will play back when the Pro Tools Transport is engaged.
