EDITING PAD POSITION PARAMETERS IN CLIP MODE
Clip Mode is best suited to sample files that have been created with time-stretching and
pitch-stretching in mind. Some characteristics that make wav files more suitable for Clip
Mode:
■ First down beat is at start of file, with no empty space before it.
■ End of last beat is at end of file, with no empty space after it.
■ Contains ACID metadata tag with beat count. ACID metadata tags may include:
▪
Loop properties, such as tempo, key, time signature.
▪
Key Signature
▪
Time Signature
▪
Pitch Information
The tangerine uses parameters such as these to optimize the way it synchronizes sample
playback with the tempo of the tangerine’s sequencer
Clip pads can support looping playback and beat synchronized playback. They are useful to
play a track along with your sequence or real time playing.
The Launch Mode parameter on the pad Configuration screen and all of the Position
Parameters are particularly important for clips.
Clips can only play when the clock is running because they need to
synchronize with it. When you trigger a clip, a white progress bar
appears across the bottom of the pad, as shown on the Bass2 122Cm
pad in the screenshot on the right. The progress bar does not move
and the clip does not play until the transports are playing. Touch
the clock and then push Play on the Transports pop-up to start the
clip playing.
