Before proceeding, study the following background information about
Autolooping.
About Autolooping
Looping performs an electronic “cut and paste” (splice) which sometimes
produces annoying glitches. Here’s why.
Refer to
Fig. VDEF- 8,
which shows the waveform where a sample is to be
looped. As the signal loops, note the discontinuity at the “splice point”. This can
produce an annoying ticking or popping sound.
Fortunately, the Emulator II is a smart instrument and can help find the optimum
splice point for you. Set the S and L points as best you can with the sliders, then
press YES to invoke Autoloop. The computer will look for nearby points that can
be spliced together with minimum discontinuity. Example: If you invoke Autoloop
for the sample given in
Fig
.
VDEF- 9
, the computer will find a good splice point in
the vicinity of the S and L points you programmed (see
Fig. VDEF-10).
The
display will update to reflect the computer-chosen S and L points.
How well does Autolooping work? Incredibly well, once you get the hang of it
(getting the most out of this function does require practice). Autoloop can save
you much time when doing looped samples, and is remarkably effective with
short, sustained samples.
