STATIC MACHINE

Static machines are perfect for handling extremely large samples. Samples assigned to Static
machines are streamed from the Compact Flash card, thus their size can be in the order of gigabytes.
They can of course still be time stretched and pitch scaled as needed.

STATIC MAIN

PTCH adjusts the pitch of the sample. The
max setting pitches the sample up an octave, a
min setting pitches the sample down an
octave.
STRT controls which slice should be played. If
the sample contains slices, and the SLIC
parameter in the STATIC SETUP menu is set
to ON, this parameter selects between the
slices. STRT values exceeding the number of
actual sample slices will select the last sample
slice. This parameter has no effect on Static
samples not containing slices.
RATE adjusts the playback speed. It shifts
behavior depending on the RATE setting found
in the FLEX SETUP page. When set to 0 the
sample won't be played back at all. No nega-
tive values can be chosen, meaning Static
samples can not be played backwards.
RTRG sets the number of retrigs that should
occur when a note is trigged.
RTIM sets the time between each retrig. The
time is relative to the tempo.

STATIC SETUP

LOOP sets the master loop mode setting of the
track. When set to AUTO the individual loop
settings made in the audio editor will apply.
Each sample of the track can then have its
own loop setting
SLIC selects whether slices will be accessible
or not to the STRT parameter found in the
STATIC MAIN page.
RATE selects if the RATE parameter found in
the main menu will affect the timestretch or
pitch of the sample.
TSTR sets the master timestretch setting of
the track. When set to AUTO the individual
timestretch settings made in the audio editor
will apply. Each sample of the track can then
have its own timestretch setting.
TSNS adjusts the transient detection when the
timestretch algorithm is set to BEAT. The
higher the setting, the more transient sensitive
the algorithm will be.
