The Bit Reduce process lowers the bit resolution of a
sample, effectively reducing
reproduction. You can reduce it down to 1 bit. (The sound
is similar to the Resampler effect, but Bit Reduce will
permanently alter the sample.)
Tip: Use this on drum loops to get a dirty, "old-school"
sizzle but with a digital "edge."
Note: This process affects the entire sample regardless of
its start point or end point.
The Stereo -> Mono process converts a stereo sample to a
new mono sample and saves it as a new sample.
Use the Edit Name field (and the virtual keyboard that
appears) to name the new sample. Otherwise, the
process will add a consecutive number after the sample
name.
The following options are available:
• Left will convert the left channel only.
•
Right will convert the right channel only.
•
Sum will combine the left and right audio channels
to a single mono channel.
Note: This process affects the entire sample regardless of
its start point or end point.
