FXpansion GURU - Manual (Page 24)

The Score mode works best with 1, 2 or 4 bar loops, and best
results are obtained if the tempo of the loop is between 70%
and 130% of the current tempo. Anything which falls outside
these limits is liable to be detected at half or double the tempo,
for example. However, you can use the tempo multipliers in
Engines 2-8 in order to adjust the timing
1 .
Guru will look at the length of the loop and adjust the step/
page length of the Pattern accordingly. If there are multiple
notes within 1 step, the notes will be placed on separate Pad
lanes of the correct type, with Shift graph values generated for
each ensuring that they play at the correct time.
Using REX files with GURU
As well as .WAV and .AIFF files, ReCycle-format .REX, .RCY
and .RX2 files will also be displayed in the Loops Browser.
GURU will use the slice information stored within the ReCycle
file instead of using a SmartSlice-based slice mode. The drum-
detection analysis will still take place, however, and GURU will
map the best-matching drum slices to the relevant Pads. The
Score button operates as normal.
The Equal-16 th s slice mode is an exception, however: it over-
rides the slice information from the ReCycle file. When using
this mode with a ReCycle file, GURU divides it into 16 seg-
ments as normal, mapping them to the Pads sequentially.
Auto mode operates with REX files in the same way as with
other audio files.
