Apologies for my terminology.
Suppose I have an effect with a cycle time of 2 seconds. I want this effect to run to coincide with the downbeat of the music, which is at 120bpm. When does the start of the cycle happen -- is it at the exact instant I start the effect, or is there some global phase/clock that it maps to?
If I've got an effect that is already running, but it's somehow out of sync/phase with the music, is there a way to tell it "restart your cycle NOW"? Do I stop the effect then immediately start it again? Or is there another way to do it? Happy to use macros or OSC messages.
As a feature request, I'd love it if Eos had some kind of global bpm, along with global beat/downbeat time synchronisation. In my ideal world, you could feed those things in through something like Ableton Link, and/or have the console generate the beat positions itself; then for each effect, you'd optionally be able to say "sync with global BPM", and give the effect a multiplier e.g. "1 cycle == 1 beat", "1 cycle == 2 beats", etc. The console would ensure that every cycle started on the downbeat.
