EDIT SAMPLE
CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 147
As usual, you may select the sample to be edited at the top of the page. The parameters on
this page are:
Here you may set two values to set the start and end of the area of the
chosen sample you wish to stretch. You may only want to stretch one
part of the sample so it should be set here. The first field sets the start
point of the stretched area and the field sets the end. You may
audition the area you have set using the key (F6).
Here you can set the cycle length (in samples). The soft key can
be used to help you find the right sample length. As with autolooping,
the CD3000XL applies software logic to the sample to calculate what it
believes is the right answer but, like autolooping, whilst the
CD3000XL will often help you, it is not always infallible. The
function only applies to the CYCLIC mode of
timestretch.
This sets the percentage by which the sample will be stretched or
shrunk. The range is 25% to 2000% (although we are the first to admit
that such extremes are only going find favour with the truly mad!). As
this parameter is adjusted, you will see the length of the sample
changing in the adjacent field and in the field
above that.
As mentioned, there are two ways in which you can stretch a sample
and this is selected here. CYCLIC uses a fixed cycle time at which the
CD3000XL will stretch. When INTELL is selected here, the
CD3000XL makes its own decisions as it proceeds with the stretching
process. Be warned, though! Although the intelligent mode will
produce better results, the time taken for this operation is much longer
than when the CYCLIC mode (up to several minutes depending on
the length of the sample and the amount of stretch).
Remember that to perform any of these operations, you will need to
have enough free memory.
This sets a level of intelligence for the CD3000XL to work with when
performing an intelligent timestretch. It sets the number of decisions it
will make as it works its way through the sample. With lower values set
here, it will not make so many examinations of the sound. With higher
settings, it will examine the sound in great detail and so produce better
results although this will take longer. This control only has a function
when INTELL is selected.
This sets a crossfade between the original and the inserted data. It is
recommended that when low values are set, this should be set
high and vice versa. This control only has a function when INTELL is
selected.
