Clip File Requirements
To be compatible with the tangerine’s Clip model, a WAV must meet the following criteria:
■ There should be no extra blank space at the beginning or end of the file.
■ The file must be created so that if you play consecutive copies it will sound like a loop.
■ The length of the audio should be a full number of bars. Make sure your WAV file starts
at the beginning of a measure and ends at end of a measure.
■ The tempo of the audio must be within about 10 BPM of the desired playback tempo. If
you try to play it back at a much different tempo, you may hear artifacts.
■ Adjust the Clip Pad’s position parameters to help the tangerine determine the beat
count. The tangerine will use the following methods in this order to identify the beat
count:
▪
Look at the Beat Count parameter when it is not Auto
▪
Look for a valid ACID Tag in the WAV file that includes the beat count
▪
Try to calculate it using the following assumptions:
◦
the time signature is 4:4
◦
the beat count is a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, …)
◦
the clip tempo is close to the current clock tempo (/- 10 bpm)
Note
: WAV files must meet the tangerine’s WAV file requirements or the tangerine will
not recognize them or load them.
