Simple FM Synthesis: Sine Waves and Processors:
In this article, we’ll show how FM synthesis and some simple processors and can be used to take a few sine waves to an expressive and grungy bass patch. We’ll cover the steps we take, why we’re performing them, and create a sample patch along the way.
I started my synthesizer “lust” the first time I heard a Moog — 1969 — no way I could afford to play in that arena.
In 1985 I got a Casio CZ-101, and software to be librarian and programmer. That’s where I learned about ADSR. Then I got a Yamaha TX81Z — DX7 was out of reach. Learned how to program that with software, again. Thanks Opcode!
I donated my CZ-101 to CRAS. I traded my TX81Z in for an electric guitar and an amplifier. I have many FM synthesizer tools inside my computer these days, so I don’t miss the 30 year old hardware that requires maintenance. I jumped for joy when I got my hands on the KORG Legacy instruments — finally an M1 and a Wavestation all for me.

Set Smart Tempo MTR Handling to Ignore
Nothing. Zip. Nada. Cannot locate anything that remotely refers to “MTR Handling”.
Unless that is shorthand for “Musical tempo reference” which I found here…
Smart Tempo overview — Logic Pro X:
Musical tempo reference
When using Smart Tempo in Adapt mode (or when Auto uses Adapt behavior), the results depend on whether a musical tempo reference is present in the part of the project to which you are recording or adding a file. A musical tempo reference exists when the metronome is active, when audio, MIDI, or Drummer regions are present in the part of the project where you are working, or when Cycle mode is turned on.
In most cases, when you hear any musical material while recording, a musical tempo reference is present. If you do not hear any material, no musical tempo reference is present.
Tip: To avoid having a musical tempo reference while recording, solo the track you are recording to before recording.
Given the description here the commands start to make sense. Setting MTR Handling to “ignore” would have the same effect as soloing the track being recorded to, except that you would still hear the musical reference.
