Troubleshooting
3. Use the RT Win page to set up a crossfade between the voices.
4. Make sure that Lock To Tempo is turned on in the Multisetup or Preset window.
5. In the Voice Processing window, set up a Cord for both voices that controls Amp
Crossfade with a continuous controller.
Now, you can use the continuous controller during playback to crossfade between two
forward-looped regions. Since the crossfade works in real-time, you don’t need to retrigger
the note-- just change the continuous controller with your finger still on the
note. If you select Lock to Tempo in the Multisetup window, the voices will stay in sync
with each other. For more information, see “Tempo Control” on page 62.
If you choose to lock looped regions to a tempo source, you MUST select a region with
Start and End points that lie on beat/bar markers. In addition, the beat or bar MUST
have a tempo. If you want a beat to have a tempo, change the Tempo Granularity. see
Tempo Granularity Changes on page 192.
Troubleshooting
Map both voices to the same keyrange.

tips.
Beat Analysis Doesn’t Find the Right Beats
You analyzed a sample using Beat Analysis, but the Beat Markers do not fall in the
correct places.
• In the Beat Analysis dialog, make sure you use an appropriate tempo range. Try
to estimate the tempo as best you can. Also, make sure you select the correct
Beats per Bar and Meter.
• In the Beat Analysis dialog, experiment with the Tempo Variation. If your sample
changes tempo frequently, try using Fast. If the tempo is tight, and unchanging,
try Constant.
• Use your ears and remove any extra beats from the beginning and/or end of the
sample. To delete part of a sample, select the area you wish to truncate, and press
the Del key on your keyboard. Now, re-analyze the sample.
Tip: If you want to
sustain a looping voice
without having to hold
down the key, turn on
Latch in the Voice
Processing window. Make
sure to select the right
group from the Group
drop-down menu.
