Sample diagram
This diagram shows the sample waveform and the slices. Here is
how the sample diagram appears before the Slice:
… and the same diagram after the Slice:
Metronome Information
Meter
Use this parameter to specify the Meter of the original sample.
Measures
Use this parameter to specify the number of measures of the
original sample. Usually, you will load a groove 1- or 2-measures
long.
BPM
This parameter specifies the tempo (in Beats Per Minute) of the
original sample. Pa3XLe automatically calculates this value
based on the Start, End (see page 238), Meter and Measures
parameters.
The BPM can be only adjusted to values lower than the one auto-
matically calculated. This can be useful, for example, when the
actual sample is shorter than the entered Meter and Measures
values.
In the above example, the actual groove lasts only up to the first
half of Measure 2. The recognized tempo is 130, while the real
tempo is 100. Set the BPM value to 100, and a rest will be added
to the end of the groove, to allow it to loop seamlessly.
Time Slice
See “The Time Slice procedure” on page 244 for more information.
Release
Adjust the value of this parameter to change the number of rec-
ognized attacks, by varying the speed needed to the Slice engine
to start working again. For example, in the following example, if
the Release value is too high (i.e., too long), the second attack
may be lost:
Note: After changing the Release value, you must select the Slice
command again.
Threshold
This parameter varies the threshold over which the attacks are
recognized (i.e., the Time Slice sensitivity). If it is too low, weaker
attacks may be ignored.
Note:
After changing the Threshold value, you are not obliged to
select the Slice command again. The Slices value is immediately
changed.
Attacks
This (non-editable) parameter shows the number of attacks rec-
ognized. More than one attack may be recognized in a single
slice. Adjust the Release and Threshold parameters to change the
number of recognized attacks.
Edit the MIDI data
Note: To recombine notes inside the generated MIDI sequence, you
must first import the MIDI data in Style or Pad Record mode, by using
the “Import” function. Then, use the Event Edit to change the note
order.
