Testing the generated Drum Kit
▪ To test the full pattern at different speed, play a note from C2 (half speed) to
C3 (original speed). See table above.
▪ To test the single sliced samples, play notes from C#3 and above. If you play
a full chromatic scale, you can play the original pattern.
If too many samples have been generated, and the keyboard can’t fit them
all, use the UPPER OCTAVE buttons to transpose the keyboard, and also
listen to the samples exceeding the upper limit.
Adjusting the slicing parameters
▪ If the Slice procedure didn’t produce satisfactory results, adjust the Release
parameter, and touch the Slice button again.
Adjust the Release value changes the number of recognized attacks, by
varying the speed needed to the Slice engine to start working again. For ex-
ample, in the following example, if the Release value is too high (that is, too
long), the second attack may be lost:
▪ If this, again, does not produces good results, try to also adjust the Threshold
parameter, and touch the Slice button again.
▪ Since a Tempo value rounding happens during the Slice operation, and the
loop may not be accurate, you may need to adjust both the
Start and End
parameters of the Sample > Edit page, to make the groove loop flawlessly.
After editing these parameters, touch the Slice button again.
Go on experimenting different settings. Editing an audio groove is a pure
matter of experimentation.
