Release Control
The Buffre Release knob controls the amount of a sweeping reverse layer added to the
playback of looping audio. This creates a smoothing effect of the loop window as the
reversed audio increases in loudness as the cycle nears the end of the loop and returns
to the beginning of the loop.
When using the Release feature, timing does become an issue. The
process is most apparent when a trigger is right on the transient of a
drum or percussion hit. If the trigger is early or late, the reversed
audio will be rendered by the audio in the gap preceding the transient.
When triggered simultaneously with a transient drum hit, the reversed
audio creates a smeared transition.
Release is also useful when you start working with capturing granular
elements in the 1/128th note divisions and smaller. This process can modify the
harmonics of extremely short looping segments.
Randomize
The Randomize Knob controls a playback modulation that randomly
alters the start point of the loop, creating a slight shuddering
movement of the processed loop. The Right Channel and Left Channel
start points are modulated separately which creates a stereo widening
effect. This feature is particularly useful for transforming granular hits
to create stereo textures.
Enabling the “Link” button assigns the identical random modulation to
both the left and right channels, keeping the variation equal for both
sides of the signal. The start point and looping characteristics are
randomized, but there is no stereo separation.
