Tap Warp to enable or disable warping of the sample.
When enabled, lengthening or shortening the sample (based on the BPM) will not change its pitch.
When disabled, lengthening or shortening the sample will also change its pitch and vice versa.
Use the Stretch field to set the "stretch factor," which affects how the sample is warped (if Warp is on).
Use the BPM field to enter a tempo, which affects how the sample is warped (if Warp is on).
Tap BPM Sync to enable or disable BPM Sync.
When BPM Sync and Warp are both enabled, the sample's BPM will be "locked" to the tempo of the project.
When BPM Sync is disabled but Warp is enabled, the sample will be independent of the tempo of your project—use the
Stretch field to lengthen or shorten a sample.
Note: The Warp algorithms are very CPU-intensive and can result in audio drop-outs during playback if used too freely.
Be mindful of how (and how often) you use the warp function. You can reduce the CPU resources required by doing
any/all of the following:
•
Avoid using extreme Stretch values.
•
Minimize the amount of pitch adjustment (e.g., the Semi and Fine parameters) of warped audio.
•
Avoid warping very small clip regions.
•
Warp as few clips or clip regions as possible (i.e., reduce the number of total number of voices of the polyphonic
limit that use the Warp algorithm at a given time), especially instances where the warped regions start at the same
time.
•
Avoid rapidly triggering samples that are warped.
•
If you have warped samples used in a drum kit, consider using the Flatten Pad function to consolidate the affected
pad's layers into one audio sample (see
