Using Time Slice to divide a sam-
ple, and playing it in Multi mode
RPPR
Time Slice is a function that detects the attack of the
kick or snare etc. in a rhythm loop sample (a sample
consisting of a looped pattern of drums etc.), and auto-
matically divides it into separate instrumental sounds.
Each of the divided instrumental sounds is made a
sample of its own, and then automatically expanded
into a multisample and program. Pattern playback data
for Multi mode and RPPR settings for the divided sam-
ples are also created automatically. ( PG p.93)
The time-slices sample can be used in the following
ways by the RPPR function of Multi mode.
• Multiple rhythm loop samples of differing tempo
can be matched to the same tempo without
changing their pitch.
• You can change the tempo in realtime without
affecting the pitch.
• Multiple rhythm loop samples can be turned on/
off in realtime from the keyboard of a connected
MIDI instrument.
As an example, we will explain the procedure for using
Sampling mode to time-slice two rhythm loop samples,
and using the RPPR function of Multi mode to play
them as rhythm loop samples.
Time Slice
You will need to provide rhythm loop samples of
drums etc. You can either record these on the TRITON-
Rack, or load them in Disk mode. Initially, you should
try this using a one-measure pattern in 4/4 time with a
fairly simple beat, and record the pattern as a monaural
rhythm loop sample.
For this example, we will use a 140 BPM rhythm loop
sample and a 100 BPM rhythm loop sample.
1 Select "SMPL (Sample Select)" 140 BPM rhythm
loop sample.
2 Access the SMPL 3.1: Loop Edit, Edit 2 page.
3 Select and execute the "Time Slice" utility.
Press the [F8] ("UTILITY") key to access the Utility
menu, and press the [F7] key to select "Time Slice."
Press the [F8] ("OK") key. The Set Sample Tempo
dialog box will appear.
4 Specify the number of quarter-note beats in the
sample, and its tempo.
If you know the BPM, set "Source BPM."
If you do not know the BPM, set "Beat" and the
BPM will be calculated automatically. Since in this
example we do know the beat, set "Source BPM" to
140.
5 Press the [F8] ("OK") key.
The sample will automatically be sliced, and a dia-
log box will appear.
When you play the keyboard of a connected MIDI
instrument, C2 will play the original sample
(Source), and D2 and subsequent keys will play the
divided sample. You can change "Index" and press
the [AUDITION] key to play the sample that is
selected by "Index."
While listening to each divided sample, adjust "Sen-
sitivity" so that each drum strike or other rhythm
instrument sound is divided into its own sample. In
some cases, it may not be possible to slice the sam-
ple cleanly even if you adjust "Sensitivity." If the
attack of the next sound is included in the end of the
preceding sample, or if one sample contains two
notes, you will need to edit the samples. ( PG p.95)
6 Press the [F6] ("Save") key.
The save dialog box will appear.
Here you can save the time-sliced sample and the
automatically-created multisample. You can set the
"With" items to specify the save destination for the
program that uses the samples and multisample,
and the pattern data for the rhythm loop sample
used by the RPPR function of Multi mode.
For this example, set the "With" items as shown in
the illustration.
Set "Program," "Seq. Event," "RPPR" to On
(checked)
Program: I-E010
Multi: 000, Pattern: U00
RPPR Key: C#2, Track: 01
Press the [F8] ("Save") key to execute the save
operation, and you will return to the dialog box of
step 5. Press the [F7] ("Exit") key to return to the
screen of step 2.
