How can I change rhythm patterns in the middle of a song?
●
Use different mute combinations to switch LOOP and COMPOSED LOOP track
groupings on and off.
●
Record mute switching directly into the song (as sequence data).
●
Store different mute combinations into scenes. Then record appropriate scene-
recall events into the song.
Example:
Assume that you want to use LOOP 1, CL (COMPOSED LOOP=CL) 1, and CL2
tracks to produce rhythm pattern A, and LOOP 2, CL3, and CL4 tracks to produce
rhythm pattern B.
●
First, switch LOOP 1, CL1, and CL2 mutes OFF and switch LOOP 2, CL3, and
CL4 mutes ON, and store the results into scene [A].
●
Next, switch LOOP 1, CL1, and CL2 mutes ON and switch LOOP 2, CL3, and
CL4 mutes OFF, and store the results into scene [B].
(Also: If you want a particular pattern to start up when you playing the song from
the top, then store that pattern into the TOP scene.)
I want to switch between two different loop phrases (composed loops) using the same
basic sound (the same sample) but with different note patterns and loop lengths.
1. Record the sample onto one of the COMPOSED LOOP tracks and record the first
loop phrase. Also set the appropriate loop length.
2. Copy the results from the first COMPOSED LOOP into a second COMPOSED
LOOP track (using the TRACK | COPY job).
3. Mute the first track and record the loop phrase for the second track. Also set the
appropriate loop length.
4. You can now use mute actions to switch between the two patterns.
My LOOP-track loop doesn’t sound quite right., because…
●
There’s noise at the slices.
Try using a shorter loop length. (If this results in empty gaps in the playback, try
increasing the release (SOUND/[RELEASE] knob function) to fill in the gaps.)
●
I’m losing the attack part (snare sound or initial drum impact) at the top of
the loop.
Shift the start points and end points back (toward the top of the sample) by the
same amount.
●
The sound is overlapping.
●
The loop doesn’t match the rhythm from other tracks or from the metro-
nome.
Shift the start points and end points forward or backward as necessary.
