EDIT SAMPLE
Here you can set the cycle length (in samples). The soft key
can be used to help you find the right sample length. As with
autolooping, the S3000XL applies software logic to the sample to
calculate what it believes is the right answer but, like autolooping,
whilst the S3000XL will often help you, it is not always infallible.
The
function only applies to the CYCLIC mode of
timestretch.
This sets the percentage by which the sample will be stretched or
shrunk. The range is 25% to 2000% (although we are the first to
admit that such extremes are only going find favour with the truly
mad!). As this parameter is adjusted, you will see the length of the
sample changing in the adjacent
field and in the
field above that.
As mentioned, there are two ways in which you can stretch a
sample and this is selected here. CYCLIC uses a fixed cycle time
at which the S3000XL will stretch. When INTELL is selected here,
the S3000XL makes its own decisions as it proceeds with the
stretching process. Be warned, though! Although the intelligent
mode will produce better results, the time taken for this operation
is much longer than when the CYCLIC mode (up to several
minutes depending on the length of the sample and the amount
of stretch).
Remember that to perform any of these operations, you will need
to have enough free memory.
This sets a level of intelligence for the S3000XL to work with when
performing an intelligent timestretch. It sets the number of
decisions it will make as it works its way through the sample. With
lower values set here, it will not make so many examinations of the
sound. With higher settings, it will examine the sound in great
detail and so produce better results although this will take longer.
This control only has a function when INTELL is selected.
This sets a crossfade between the original and the inserted data. It
is recommended that when low
values are set, this should
be set high and vice versa. This control only has a function when
INTELL is selected.
