Loop Module
Loop Module
The RMV's Loop Module is used to load audio loops and samples into an individual Pad. It
can also be used to edit the playback parameters of loops and samples once they are
loaded. The RMV contains six identical Loop Modules.
Each Loop Module contains three sections: a Loop section, a Pad section, and a Signal
Processing section. A Loop Module's Loop section is used to load, edit and play audio
loops. A Loop Module's Pad section is similar to the Pad section that is used with the
RMV's Percussion Synthesis/Sampler modules, however there are several minor
differences which are described below. A Loop Module's Signal Processing section is the
same as that used by the Percussion Synthesis/Sampler modules. The Loop module's
Signal Processing section is described in the Signal Processing section of this guide. Each
Loop Module also has access to the RMV's Sample Browser and Loop Librarian. The
Sample Browser is described in the Sample Browser section of this guide, while the Loop
Librarian is described below.
The key feature of the Loop Module is that it can play back “sliced” files. A “sliced” file is a
file that has been “sliced” into segments, usually at the onset of a sound. “Sliced” files
have two advantages. Firstly, the tempo of a sliced file can be changed without the use of
time-stretching or pitch-shifting. This means that the presence of “artefacts” is minimised.
