Audio Export
You can now render pads, tracks, engines or the full mix directly within GURU, and instantly
export it via drag + drop to your host or OS, or give the rendered loop a second pass through
GURU for further mangling. The audio exporter automatically tops and tails loops during render-
ing so they’re ready to use straightaway in Live, Acid or other loop environment.
To use the audio exporter, hit the ARM button (the record symbol below the GURU logo) to arm
the exporter for recording. The upper combo box allows you to choose what will get exported
- a pad, track, group, engine, or the whole mix. The next time you hit PLAY, or next time you hit a
pad (PAD export mode only), the exporter will capture the output. Depending whether you have
the “Cross fade loops on export” option enabled, it may need to record for one cycle or two.
Once recording has been finished, the record light will go out and the newly recorded clip will be
added to the lower combo box in the audio recorder area. You can double click the name of any
recently recorded clip to rename it. To export the clip, select it in the combo box, then drag from
the “Export source” button to the right of the combo boxes to, well, wherever you want -- be that
a pad in Guru, a location in Guru’s browser, an Explorer/Finder folder, or of course your host.
The files it outputs are standard WAVs and can be read by any application.
NB: - The cycle length is determined by the length of the pattern, or for ‘ALL’ mode, the length of
the longest currently selected pattern across all engines. If you want to record a longer passage,
pick an unused engine (e.g. #8), set the page count to 4 and the step count to 8, and then set
its tempo multiplier to a low value (e.g. /8th). GURU’s audio recorder is RAM-based, so record-
ing long passages will eat RAM - you have been warned.
