Sampling
Use the Note length slider to set the length of the
sampled note in seconds.
Use Tail slider to set the length of the Audio Tail in
seconds. This will add extra seconds to the end of the
resulting audio file. This is useful if you are capturing
samples whose sounds exceed the defined audio
length (e.g., long reverb or delay, one-shot samples
with long decays, etc.). We recommend using an
audio tail of at least a couple of seconds.
Use Base name to set the naming convention for the
samples that will be created by the Auto Sampler.
Looping
Use the Enable looping field to select how the
resulting samples can or cannot be looped:
•
Off: The sample will not loop.
•
Forward: You can hold down the pad to
cause that sample to repeat from the Loop
Position to the end of the sample. Release
the pad to stop the repeating playback.
•
Reverse: You can hold down the pad to
cause that sample to play in reverse,
repeating from the end of the sample to the
Loop Position. Release the pad to stop the
repeating playback.
•
Alternating: You can hold down the pad to
cause that sample to play from the Loop
Position to the end of the sample and then
play in reverse until it reaches the Loop
Position again. This will repeat as long as you
are holding the pad down. Release the pad to
stop the repeating playback.
Use the Loop start and Loop end sliders to set the starting and ending points in the sample where the loop will
occur.
Use the Crossfade field to set the amount of crossfade between the loop end and loop start in seconds.
Use the Crossfade Type field to select Equal Power or Linear crossfade.
Under On completion, check Make current program to
load the completed sampler patch as the current
program.
Under Info, the Session Duration field provides an
estimate of how long the auto sampling process will take.
Tap OK to initiate the auto sampling process. A Progress
window will appear. Click Cancel to stop the auto
sampling process. Any samples already created will be
retained.
Tap Cancel to close the Auto Sampler window without
continuing.
