FXpansion Guru 1.5 - Manual (Page 19)


PAD EDITING
• Can now move the start/end points in PAD EDIT simultaneously (click between the carats).
• Pad Edit wave start/end carats are less fiddly to use.
• In the Pad Editor, the ALT and SHIFT keymodifier commands command now works for drop-
down menus and combo boxes as well as knobs. So you can ALT+click to assign all pads in
an engine to an output, or all pads to a specific Cut By mode
• ALT applies any edit to all pads in the current row, SHIFT applies edits to all pads in the cur-
rent column, ALT+SHIFT applies any edit to all pads in the engine.
• Pre Delay per layer, in both musical and millisecond units. A third knob lets you set the resolu-
tion of the musical units.
• Layer context menu with Cut/Copy/Paste Layer, and per-Layer Mute & Solo
• Sample Reverse. Click the new ‘Reverse’ button in the pad editor to play samples backwards.
• Guru’s audio engine now supports Note Offs. A sample will gate when it receives a note off if
the GATE switch is enabled for it in the Pad/Layer editor.
• New layer play modes:- Round Robin and Random (alongside the existing All Layers and Ve-
locity Split modes) (this responds to the same ALT+SHIFT key modifiers as the rest of the Pad
Edit controls... TIP: try chopping some longer loops with “Linear” and “Chop” modes selected,
then switch all the Pads in to Random mode.
