Sync & Phase

I know the answer will be RTFM but i don’t have TFM with me :wink:

I understand that the Sync and phase has been separated in S4 however after reading the NI forum i’m still a little confused so i thought i would try for some clarification.

Essentially i want to be able to scratch a bit and then hit a hotcue and be back on without having to readjust phase using the jog. I have also noticed that even with decks synced sometimes if i jump around or refire hotcues the phase will go out and needs to be manually adjusted.

I read this on the NI forum:

“…net effect is that you can lock your decks BPM on to the master clock source, (either Master Clock or assign a deck as the Master) and sync other decks BPM and optionally Phase sync to the master source.”

Is enabling the ‘optionally phase sync’ bit a setting somewhere? Any way to get it to behave like it did in pro?

:confused:

as long as you have quantize on and your grids where they should, they hotcue will start in time.

No S4 behaves differently the song may technically be in sync, but out of phase. I don’t think there’s any way to go back to the way old TPro works. A quick press of sync will get it back.

ignore my post then :slight_smile:

Doh! Was hoping my understanding was wrong photojojo but yeah thats the kicker. I guess I will have to just grow another finger :wink:

I may be wrong as I don’t scratch and almost never get out of phase so I haven’t really paid a whole lot of attention to it.
