Synchronization Project Settings

The Synchronization project settings allow you to specify all parameters relevant for
synchronization.

To open the Synchronization project settings, do one of the following:

m

Choose File > Project Settings > Synchronization from the main menu bar (or use the
Open Synchronization Settings key command, default: Option-Y).

m

pop-up menu.

m

Control-click the Sync button in the Transport bar, and choose Synchronization Settings
from the pop-up menu.

The Synchronization project settings consists of four tabs:

 General: This tab contains the major synchronization settings, used when running

Logic Pro as a synchronization slave. For further information, see the section below.

 Audio: This tab contains all parameters relevant to synchronizing audio and MIDI.
 MIDI: This tab configures Logic Pro to send time code via MIDI, when it is in play or

record mode. This enables you to synchronize external slave devices to Logic Pro,
which acts as the master.

 Unitor: This tab is used to set the major synchronization parameters for the Unitor8

MIDI interface.
