Rapture Pro converting it's time to a bar

Ok, this could get tricky to explain.

I want to make risers and fallers using the Rapture Pro and although I changed the Pitch Bend range to 24 so that I can use automation from my DAW, I don't have the nice curves that Rapture offers in it's editor from my DAW.

So, I was wondering, is there a way that I can convert the time being used in the Rapture Pitch interface (where you can plot points using the mouse) to 1 bar etc. etc.

I'm not too bad with math so even if I just know what the Rapture time measurement is (if it was milliseconds) I'm figuring I would calculate it by:

Let's say for 1 bar at 133 bpm.

133/60 = 2.216666666666667 (2.21 beats per second)

Time for each beat = 1/2.216666666666667 = 0.4511278195488722 = 4511 milliseconds per beat

Therefore 1 bar (0.4511278195488722 * 4) = 1.804511278195489 seconds or 18045 milliseconds -

Is my math right here?

And is this the measurement used by Rapture Pro? i.e. would I take my marker to 18045 on the graph part of the interface?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

    Yes, your math is right, and a quick check (counting the length of an amplitude release stage set to 10,000) does seem to indicate that EG times in Rapture are in milliseconds.

    Thank you so much, I REALLY value your assistance. Looks like I can start to make those risers/fallers now!! :)

    There's a much easier way to do this.  Just enable the EG SYNC parameter for the EGs you are working with and set the SYNC setting to your desired length.

    Best,

    And if you press P on your keyboard the nodes will snap to the grid... (Not automatically if you've already created an envelope, but if you move those nodes after pressing P then they will snap to grid.)

    I can set this parameter length in bars??

    I'm still learning but I think I'm getting there!! :)

    Tried EG sync but it didn't quite seem to be what I was looking for.

    I think I am going to have to start studying the Rapture manual.
