Using Recycle - Step By Step - Propellerhead ReCycle Operation Manual

Using ReCycle - Step By
Step
The text below assumes that you have installed ReCycle and a sequencer pro-
gram such as Cubase and that all connections to your sampler are set up and
working. If not, please see the Installation chapter for more information.
1. Launch ReCycle by double clicking on its icon.
The Open dialog may appear, depending on the setting the Preferences di-
alog. If not, select Open from the File menu.
2. Locate the file called "Drum Tools Demo.aif" in your ReCycle folder.
3. Select the file and click Open.
You will be asked whether you want the Left Locator to be moved to the first
Slice point (see page 39 for more info). Click Yes.
The Drum Tools Demo loop.
4. In the window, click the Play button.
You should now hear the entire loop, from start to end, repeating until you
click the Stop button. As you can hear, the Drum Tools Demo loop has "dou-
ble" downbeats, it starts on a downbeat, and ends on a downbeat, which
means that two downbeats are played in succession when the file is looped.
We shall fix this shortly - now proceed.
Stop Play
5. Drag the Sensitivity slider to the right, until its value is between 70
and 80 and a number of lines appear.
We call those lines and their triangle symbols "slices" since they indicate
that the sound has now been cut up into slices.
The Sensitivity Slider and some slices.
6. Position the mouse pointer over the "L" handle (the Left Locator)
and drag it to the left a bit and release it.
As you will see, it winds up exactly on one of the slices, and on the next lap,
playback starts from this point.
