Scheduler


Name

Scheduler:

243
scheduler

Description

The Scheduler is the EigenD Agent which deals with scheduling events (such as recorded takes) within your 'song'. It can be controlled via Belcanto, the EigenBrowser or most commonly in the Factory Setups via the Scheduler Control Keygroup, allowing quick and easy control over the playback of recorded takes. The Scheduler works closely with the Recorder and Metronome Agents.

126 127 116
bar beat input

  • Input
  • Type: Generic

The bar beat input is used to indicate to the Scheduler the current beat of the bar when the Metronome is running - as a consequence you have to connect the 'bar beat output' of the Metronome to this input for event scheduling to work correctly.

Song Beat input

  • Name:

652 127 116
song beat input

  • Input
  • Type: Generic

The song beat input is used to indicate to the Scheduler the current position of the song when the Metronome is running - as a consequence you have to connect the 'song beat output' of the Metronome to this input for event scheduling to work correctly.

Bar input

  • Name:

126 116
bar input

  • Input
  • Type: Generic

The bar input is used to indicate to the Scheduler the current bar number when the Metronome is running - as a consequence you have to connect the 'bar output' of the Metronome to this input for event scheduling to work correctly.

Light output
