LOOP FX

The most extensive editing can be done in the sliced loop patches. Each loop is given its own patch with an interface that allows for extensive loop manipulation. Adjustments to volume, pitch, play back direction, attack, decay, cutoff, and resonance can all be applied to each slice of the loop by rst selecting the parameter you want to effect at the top and then clicking within each slice to edit that parameter. KEY TERMS Volume - By default the volume is set to 100% for each slice. To make adjustments, click on a slice then drag down to decrease the volume of that slice. Pitch - Pitch can be adjusted up to 12 positive or negative semitones. To make adjustments, click on the white horizontal line in the center of a slice, then drag up or down. Reverse - To reverse a slice, click on the bottom, then drag up. Attack - Attack species the time it will take the slice to reach its maximum level when the MIDI note is received. To add a longer attack time, click on a slice then drag up. Cutoff - Cutoff by default is set to 100%. To change the cutoff frequency, click on a slice, then drag down. Resonance - Resonance adjusts the emphasis of the frequency area around the Cutoff frequency. To change the amount of resonance, click on a slice, then drag up. If after making changes, you decide you would like to return to the default settings, instead of re-loading the patch, click on the edit button to the left of the waveform display and choose Reset to Default. This will reset all changes made.

KEY TERMS CONTD

Cinematic Percussion 2/ LOOP FX CONTD

There are a couple of useful combination key stroke and mouse clicks that can make editing slices a little easier. Option+command+click (Mac) or Control+Alt+Click (PC) resets slice parameters to zero. Holding down those keys and dragging up or down allows all slices to be edited at the same time. To draw a line across multiple slices press the Option/Alt key, click on a slice as your start point for the line. Next, release ONLY the mouse button, while still holding the Option/Alt key, click on the slice that youd like to draw the line to and drag up or down to create the line. There are two keyswitches to change how the loop will playback. The mode is changed by one of the two key switches starting at C0. C0 (Red Key) - Play loop forward D0 (Blue Key) - Play loop backward There are a few other features available in the sliced loops as described below: Input Q - Offsets loop playback by the selected value. BPM - This drop down menu has three settings: X1 X2 and X0.5. This is useful to set your loops to half-time or double-time speed from whatever tempo your daw is set to. One Shot When the One Shot button is active, each slice will only play the sound contained in that slice. When One Shot mode is not active, the remainder of the loop will continue playing from the slice that was triggered. (Note: When one-shot mode is active the loop can still be played in its entirety by playing C0. Presets - There is a knob at the lower right hand corner called presets. This can be used to create multiple edits of the same loop for up to 16 different presets Midi Files - A midi le of the loop can be dragged from the interface to your track by using the icon in the upper right hand corner of the loop waveform display. These can be very helpful to completely rearrange the loop, quantize, or to simply make minor changes to the various slices of the loop.

Cinematic Percussion 2/ DISPLAY WINDOW

To see the name of the loop currently being played select the display tab at the bottom. This tab is only available in the Kit Combos section.

Cinematic Percussion 2/ MIXER WINDOW

Every Kit combo contains a simple mixing window. Each group of instruments has been given a mixer to control pan and volume. Often, many loops can be grouped under one mixing fader. You will nd this when you have multiple versions of the same instrument part. For example, you may have 3 different Conga loops, so all the Conga loops would be controlled by the main Conga mixer.
