Below is an example of how the recorded audio is split into 27 waveforms as Waveform Spread, Shift, and
Stretch are adjusted. Initially, the 27 waveforms are evenly spaced throughout the entire 2.5 second audio
recording:
First, Waveform Spread is turned down:
Then Waveform Shift is turned up:
Finally, Waveform Stretch is turned up:
Waveform Spread
Pushing the Transpose/Spread knob while pushing and turning the Browse knob
controls the amount of Waveform Spread. This changes the spacing between the
27 waveforms throughout the 2.5 second recording. The spacing between the red,
green, and blue lights on the light ring signifies the amount of Waveform Spread
occurring. Immediately after recording, Waveform Spread will be set to its
maximum value and the red, green and blue lights on light ring will be spread apart.
Turning Waveform Spread down will bring the colored lights closer together.
Holding Fine while pushing Transpose/Spread and pushing and turning Browse
will spread the waveform by smaller increments.
Waveform Stretch
Pushing the Octave knob while pushing and turning the Browse knob controls the
amount of Waveform Stretch. The number of samples for each waveform will be
increased or decreased and then re-sampled back into 512 samples, which results
in the pitch changing. The colored lights on the light ring signify the amount of
Waveform Stretch. Holding Fine while pushing Octave and pushing and turning
Browse will stretch the waveform by smaller increments.
Waveform Shift
Pushing and turning the Browse knob controls the amount of Waveform Shift,
which changes the start position of the waveforms. The lights on the light ring will
rotate around as this is adjusted. The light to the right of the top center represents
the beginning of the recorded audio; the red light starts here immediately after
recording. Holding Fine while pushing and turning Browse will shift the waveform
by smaller increments.
