Configuring Loops in Clip Pad Mode
Unless you configure a Clip Pad to loop, it will play only once.
Most often, a Clip Pad will contain rhythmic content that can synchronize with the
tangerine’s transport clock. At the same time that the tangerine is time-stretching the
sample, it also pitch-shifts the sample to keep it’s pitch consistent even if the tempo
changes.
To time-stretch and pitch-shift samples in a Clip Pad, the tangerine needs to know the
number of beats it needs to stretch the sample across. The tangerine assumes that
samples contain only the audio that will be looped. It does not support sample start,
length, or loop points for Clip Pads.
Ideally, each WAV file already contains enough metadata for the tangerine to play the Clip
Pad in sync with its transport clock. If not, you will have to manually enter the details in the
Pad Position screen.
Note: The tangerine does not re-trigger a note when a Clip Pad’s sample repeats. This
means that the envelope remains in its sustain phase while the sample repeats. Unless you
want the sample to fade out while it loops, make sure the envelope’s sustain level is high
enough.
