Pitch Change
This function is the exact opposite of Time Compression in that it changes the pitch of a sample without changing the time. The maximum amount of pitch change is ±1200 cents (± one octave).
v To Change the Pitch of a Sample:
1.Press the Sample Edit key. The LED illuminates and the main sample edit screen appears.
2.Select the sample you want to process using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys, or the numeric keypad.
3.Press the Tools 4 function key (F5). Another row of function keys appears.
4.Press the PitchX function key (F4). The following screen appears.
5.Enter the desired pitch change interval in cents using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys, or the numeric keypad.
6.Select the general type of sample to be processed.

Beat Munger

Beat Munger |
|
Beat Munging is a new real-time DSP tool that analyzes your drum loops |
|
and phrases, automatically determines the tempo, and then perfectly loops |
|
the sample for ultimate groove preservation. Beat Munging also allows you |
|
to change the loop’s time signature (i.e. from 4/4 to 7/8), tempo, swing |
Note - Beat Munger is |
factor, and individually manipulate beats within the loop, all in real-time. |
Through complex spectral analysis, the Analyzer determines the high |
only available on Ultra series |
points in the energy curve (the beats), locates and remembers the location |
Emulators because it requires |
of transients in the signal, and extracts the tempo (displayed in the Analysis |
mucho processor horsepower. |
Results field). Once the analysis is complete, the main Beat Munger screen is |
|
displayed. Pressing Play allows you to hear the loop. Adjust the controls |
|
and hear the changes in real-time (it may take a second or two to hear the |
|
results after moving a control, depending on the source data or the position of the |
|
loop). When you’re satisfied with the settings, press OK to process the actual |
|
sample data. The sample will be backed-up for UNDO and the newly |
|
processed sample will REPLACE the source sample. Back up the original |
|
sample first if you want to keep it! |
