ReWire : Project Tempo and Meter Changes and ReWire
Project Tempo and Meter Changes and ReWire
Pro Tools | First transmits both Tempo and Meter data to ReWire client applications, allowing ReWire-compatible sequencers to follow any tempo and meter changes in a Pro Tools | First project.
With the Conductor button selected, Pro Tools | First always acts as the Tempo master, using the tempo map defined in its Tempo Ruler.
With the Conductor button deselected, the ReWire client acts as the Tempo master. In both cases, playback can be started or stopped in either application.
Pro Tools | First supports tempo values from 30–300 bpm. When slaved to a ReWire client application, Pro Tools | First playback will be restricted to this range even if the client application’s tempo is outside this range. Additionally, some ReWire client applications (such as Reason) may misinterpret Pro Tools | First meter changes, resulting in mismatched locate points and other unexpected behavior. To prevent this, avoid using meter changes in Pro Tools | First when using Reason as a ReWire client.
