2. Remember—L sets the Length, not the end point, of the loop.When S moves, the loop
end point (as determined by the loop Length) moves in tandem with S.
After finding a good loop, press
ENTER
.
Hint:
If the Loop Length is at maximum (as occurs when you first call up a voice for
looping), you cannot set a new S point since that would force the loop to “run out of
sample”. Shorten the Length before moving the S point.
Moving the loop's Start Point adjusts the End Point of the loop as well.
ABOUT AUTOLOOPING
Looping performs an electronic “splice” which sometimes produces annoying glitches.
Here’s why.
Refer to the diagram on the following page, 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 Emax II can help find the optimum splice point for you. Set loop points
as best you can, then press YES to invoke Autoloop. The computer will look for nearby
points that can be spliced together with minimum discontinuity. The display will
update to reflect the computer-chosen Start and Loop 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.
As S1 moves to S2
the loop length follows
along to create a
new end point.
