Synchronizing Effects with the Beat

You can combine actions and beat synchronization.
Here we create an implementation with a short looping sound (BGM) and a one-shot sound (stinger), and play back the one-shot when the BGM loops.

By playing the "stinger2" Cue on the same Player than "Steleth_128_4_1" for which we set beat synchronization,
the triggering time will be quantized to the beat timing and the play action will be performed in sync.

Note: The action is synchronized to the beat. This mechanism allows to play sound in sync with a beat by triggering actions at any time.

About the Cue to be created

Steleth_128_4_1 : Cue with beat synchronization information
stinger1 : Cue that plays the sound (one-shot)
Cue_0 : Cue that triggers the action playing stinger1

Steps

1. Add a Cue.

2. Add beat synchronization information to the BGM.

3. Edit the beat synchronization information.

This waveform is supposed to be a music with a tempo of 120 BPM and a 4/4 signature. The beat synchronization timing is adjusted only once at the beginning of the timeline.

4. Create an action Cue "Cue_0" which plays back stinger1.

Note: This operation creates Cue_0 that triggers an action playing stinger1.

5. Change the preview to single player preview.

Note: This ensures that we will be playing the Cues on the same player in CRI Atom Craft.

6. Play the BGM and Cue_0.

Attention: If you play stinger1 directly, as is not an action, it will not be synchronized.
You need to play Cue_0 to trigger a playback via action.
