Apollo Solo USB Manual Tempo Sync 208
Sync Activation
To activate Tempo Sync, click the “Sync” button within the plug-in interface. The Sync
button LED will illuminate and the time parameters will change from a time-based
display to a note value display.
Note: When Tempo Sync is activated, the plug-in will automatically switch the
time or rate parameter(s) to the nearest available note value(s) given the range of
the parameter in question and the current tempo.
Available Note Values
The note values that are available for selection are listed below. The values are listed in
musical notation as a division of measures. For example, 1/4 = one quarter note, 1/1 =
one whole note, 4/1 = four whole notes, and so forth.
The available note values were chosen to allow syncing to tempo in odd time signatures
as well the common 4/4 time signature.
LFO rate parameters have their note values listed from longest to shortest, since long
note values correspond to slow LFO rates.
Available Tempo Sync Note Values
1/64D* 1/8 5/8 4/1
1/64 5/32* 1/1T 5/1
1/32T 1/4T 1/2D 6/1
1/32 1/8D 1/1 8/1
1/16T 1/4 5/4 9/1

1/16 1/2T 7/4 16/1
1/8T 1/4D 2/1
1/16D 1/2 3/1
D = Dotted
T = Triplet

A quarter note is always a quarter note, independent of the time signature. In different
time signatures a quarter note can represent different numbers of musical beats (e.g.
6/8) or different fractions of a bar (e.g. 5/4).
Example: The time signature is 6/8 and the delay time tempo sync note value is 1/4. If
a sound occurs on beat one of the measure then its delay will occur on beat 3, which is
1/4 note (i.e., two 8th notes) later.
Note: The “beat” value in a sequencer’s BPM tempo setting always refers to a
quarter note, independent of time signature.
