Hi Sonic Academy and Crew,



I purchased some Vengeance samples and it says samples are on the C root and 128 bpm. For eg I wanted to play a bass sample in the A Key and 130 bpm, how much tweaking do I really need to do with EXS24 sampler.



Help Will be appreciated



Thanks



Addy

Tutors anybody ?

Are you using L9?

Drag your loop into the arrange.

Select it.

Keep finger on ALT & move the cursor to the bottom of the file… same way you would if you were changing length of it.

Doing it like this is a shortcut to timestretch it… you then keep finger on ALT & drag the end of the file to the bar you want.

If you have L9 you can then export the file to sampler instrument & away you go.

Otherwise you’ll be transposing the file

Thanks ICN, what if we had to change the key of the note, from A to D. how does that work?

Great…

Just right click on the Audio on the arrange & go to Convert in the Menu.

Do convert to sampler instrument.

It’ll detect the transients & cut the audio up like a Rex file… creating a midi track & an EXS24 underneath your Audio Channel. Select it on Transients. You can choose from where on the Keyboard its mapped out.

Added bonus of being able to re-play it on the Keyboard too if you like.

Once you are in the EXS24 you can start fiddling around with the pitch until you find what you want. Use the Tune Knob, rather than the Transpose.

The transpose will just wreck it.

Thanks man, that makes sense. when you really time stretch something from 130 - 135, does that not distort the sound ?

Depends… If you are doing it too much… of course.

Same with tuning something up or down… starts to sound wrong. If it sounds bad, try to recreate it.

Or you can chop up the loop @ the original pitch & place each beat where it should be.

Depends on whether its worth it or not Mate. Let your ears decide! LOL

Glad it worked out for ya!

Really handy that convert to Exs24 :cool:
