VERSION 1.30
NEW LOOP FUNCTIONS
Several new loop playback functions are introduced in V1.30 and are available in EDIT
SAMPLE - LOOP:
These are:
LIR -> RETRIG
An abbreviation of LOOP IN RELEASE UNTIL RE-TRIGGERED. In
other words, once a sample has been triggered, it will loop endlessly
until the same note on the same MIDI channel is received.
So, for example, you may have a drum loop. Set it to LIR -> RETRIG
and assign it to (say) C1 in a program. You may do the same for another
loop on D1. You may do the same for E1. When you play C1, you will
trigger the first loop. It will continue to sound, looping round until you
hit C1 again whereupon it will stop (actually, it will loop through the
program's release phase). Hitting D1 and E1 would do much the same.
Maybe a more specific description....
You have a drum loop of the verse on C1 set to LIR -> RETRIG. You
also have a drum loop of the chorus on D1 and a drum loop of the
bridge on E1 with both of these also set to L-R -> RETRIG. Hit C1 to
trigger the verse loop. It will play endlessly and you can improvise over
the top with other sounds. When you feel like it, hit C1 and D1
together - the verse loop will stop and the chorus loop will start.
Improvise over that. At any point, press D1 and C1 to go back to the
verse. At any time, hit C1 and E1 to go to the bridge. Etc.. Play with it
and and go figure!
This has been included not only to satisfy the needs of Playsheet
users (see later) but in response to requests for more 'phrase
sampling' functionality.
