The delay settings can be changed in the
for audio 7 and 8 or
through the sequencer FX command.
Both audio outputs can have different delay settings and by cloning audio 7 to 8, you can create a
nice stereo delay effect if these delay settings are only slightly different. Use the audio output 7 for
the left and output 8 for the right channel then (or the other way around of course).
All current settings are saved and loaded with the project.
Load Sample window
The Load Sample window can be accessed from either the
Menu on a sample track or in a sample pattern. It is used to add samples to the 12 slots.
Supported sample formats are:
- RAW 8bit unsigned
- WAV wave files in 8 or 16 bit, mono and stereo
Use the cursor up/down to navigate between the 12 slots. Press
OK
on one slot to open the file
browser and choose a sample, press
OK
again to load the selected file into the slot. If there is not
enough memory available it won’t load the sample. This also happens if there is too much
fragmentation with the samples. Repeatedly loading, reloading and deleting samples can generate
fragmentation. considering the limited memory and the embedded situation it is very tricky to
defragment samples in real-time on the fly, so this is not implemented yet. For now in most cases it
will refuse to load the sample and in some rare situations it can cause a reset!
So if the samples are extensively replaced, I suggest saving the project more regularly. Also in live
situations I wouldn’t recommend extensive loading/reloading of samples. However, when powering
on and reloading the project, the sample memory is automatically de-fragmented. Same if loading
a sample block, the loaded data is de-fragmented.
Want to use longer samples? Use the old tracker tricks of using higher pitched samples and
playing them back at a lower pitch setting which increases the sample time in favour of sample
quality.
Sample-rate changing will be included in one of the next versions.
Samples can also be pre-listened by pressing
SHIFT+LEFT
(audio output 7) or
SHIFT+RIGHT
(audio output 8) in the sample browser. With this longer samples can be pre-listened. Keep in mind
that while pre-listening a sample the navigation is turned off. Pre-listen can be stopped by pressing
SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT
again. A pre-listen action halts all other samples playing on that audio track.
