Sampling and Sample Editing
Editing Samples
function is in progress, the display will indicate the percentage of individual sample segments
that have been processed.
The Quick parameter lets you select one of three warping routines. Use Quick 0 to audition your
new sample, then use Quick 1 or 2 for your final take. Quick 2 takes more time to process, but
gives you a better final result.
This function is extremely useful for fine adjustments in the length of a sample. You can also
apply greater amounts of warp for a wide range of effects. Experimentation will give you an
idea of the amount of alteration you want to apply.
15 Pitch Shift
The PitchShift function is the counterpart of the TimeWarp function; it shifts the pitch of the
selected sample segment without changing the playback time—very useful for tuning samples
when the playback time is crucial. Use the Start and End parameters to define the segment to be
shifted. The Shift parameter determines the amount of pitch shifting, up to ± 30000 cents.
Like the crossfade parameter in the Delete function, this crossfade will also shorten the sample.
The maximum crossfade length is half the length of the reversed segment.
The Quick parameter lets you select one of three shift routines. Use Quick 0 to audition your
sample, then use Quick 1 or 2 for the final take. Quick 2 takes longer to process, but gives you
better results.
16 Mix Beat
With this function you can mix the selected range of Sample 2 into Sample 1 at regular intervals.
One natural application of Mix Beat is to mix various percussion samples (Sample2) on different
beats of Sample 1. You could then loop Sample 1, creating a drum-loop sample out of individual
percussion samples. You don't have to use percussion samples, however. You can create many
