Using Regions of Analyzed Samples
Using Regions of Analyzed Samples
Another way you can use a sample that contains bar, beat, and loop information, is
with the Regions page in the Voices and Zones window. You can use the same sample
for multiple voices, and select different beats or bars for each voice. This allows you to
map different beats or bars from a single sample to different keys.
As with loops defined in the Sample Edit window, you can lock your region-based
forward loops to a clock source and modulate them using Tempo knobs.
To define regions, first perform Beat Analysis on a sample. Then, using this sample,
create a new preset and go to the Voices and Zones window.
For specific instructions on using the Region page, see “Region Page” on page 101.
To Set Up Multiple Voices Using the Same Sample
1. Make a new preset by clicking the Presets folder in the Sampler tree to the left, and
selecting New Preset from the Preset menu.
2. In the new preset, select Voices and Zones. There should be one voice already
there.
3. Click the Region tab.
4. In the sampler tree to the left, expand the Samples folder (but don’t click any
samples).
5. Click and hold a sample you’ve analyzed. While still holding down the mouse
button, drag the sample to C3 on the keyboard at the bottom of the Voices and
Zones window. This creates a new voice, with the sample you selected mapped to
C3.
6. Repeat step 4, this time dragging the same sample to D3.
7. Delete the empty voice that was initially in the preset by right-clicking the voice and
selecting Voice, Delete Voice.
To Use Different Loops For Each Voice
8. For each voice, select Forward Loop from the Direction drop-down menu.
9. Select Voice 1 by clicking it.
10. In the waveform display at the bottom of the window, use your mouse to select a
portion of the sample. Select a region between two beat markers.
To select a region
between beat markers,
make sure the ruler
format is Bars:Beats,
and that Show Beat
Markers is selected.
