Pitch Shift
14. Select Pitch Shift from the DSP toolbar. The following dialog box appears.
15. Set the Tuning interval. 100 cents equals one semitone. Try a setting of 700 cents or
a perfect fifth.
16. Select Constant Time. This setting changes the pitch but will leave the rhythm
constant. Don’t change the algorithm. See page 175 for more information about
the pitch change options.
17. Press OK to change the pitch.
18. Click on the Loop Start button in the Transport Controls to set the cursor to the
beginning of the sample and press Play.
Experiment!
Please feel free to try out all the other DSP processes. Be sure to read the Editing a
Sample chapter (page 155) to learn all about these powerful tools, but you should
actually try them out as you read.
Remember that nothing is made permanent until you save the bank, so experiment
as much as you like.
Samples can also be exported as WAVE or AIFF files using the Export function in the
Sample Edit menu. This allows you to use other sound processors in your computer.
Externally processed samples can be re-imported using the Import option in the File
menu.
Save and Save As
When you choose “Save As” from the file menu, the entire bank—presets, voices and
samples—are re-written to the hard disk. This method, although somewhat wasteful of
memory, ensures that all your samples remain bound with your bank.
Be sure to rename your bank when using Save As… to save an edited bank, otherwise
you may overwrite data you wanted to keep. When you choose Save, (instead of Save
As) only the edited presets, voices and samples will be written, saving time and
memory.
Emulator X Bank Structure
Banks are comprised of two distinct entities which need to be kept in the same folder
on your computer hard disk. The Sample Pool contains the raw sample data used. The
Bank file contains all the voice, preset and multisample data that makes up the
Emulator X bank.
