Work with a Clip Pad
Use Clip Mode for WAV files where you want to use synchronized loops and
quantized playback for the entire WAV file. Clip Mode works well with drum loops
between one and eight measures long, but there is no hard limit to the length. This
is the only Pad Mode that supports beat synchronization. An example of a file that
works well with Clip Mode is
\SoundtrackLoops\SL LoFi Hip Hop2\SY L Pad14 A Melody2 08
.
This clip is used in the preset
SL LOFI HIP HOP KIT 2
.
Note:
•
In order to synchronize the clips, there has to be an available clock. Blackbox only uses the clock when
in Play mode. Therefore, you must push
Play
before playback of a clip pad will begin. If you trigger a
clip pad before you push
Play
, a white bar will appear below the pad to show that it is queued up and
ready to start. The name of the pad in the top right corner of the parameters screen will be replaced
with a white square until you push
Play
.
The following parameters are specific to Clip mode:

in the loop for clip pads. Only forward
looping is supported with clip pads.

Beat Count
Enter the number of beats in the clip file
to give blackbox more information to
work with when synchronizing playback
to the current song BPM. If set to
Auto
,
blackbox will attempt to detect the beat
count automatically.
Auto, 1 to 512
No
Quant Size
Use
Quant Size
to quantize when the
playback starts and stops. Quantization
will cause playback to snap to a musical
grid with intervals specified by the
Quant
Size
parameter. When quantization is
used, the note trigger will cause
playback to start and end on the next
quant size boundary. For example, if the
Quant Size is set to 1-bar and you press
the pad, the playback will begin at the
start of the next bar.
