Before proceeding, read the following background information about Autolooping .
About Autolooping
Looping performs an electronic “splice” which sometimes produces annoying glitches. Here’s why.
Refer to Fig. DIGPROC-9, which shows the waveform where a sample is to be looped. As the signal
loops, note the discontinuity at the “splice point.” This can produce an annoying ticking or popping sound.
Fortunately, Emax can help find the optimum splice point for you. Set loop points as best you can, then
press YES to invoke Autoloop. The computer will look for nearby points that can be spliced together with
minimum discontinuity. The display will update to reflect the computer chosen S and L points.
How well does Autolooping work? Incredibly well, once you get the hang of it. Getting the most out of this
function does require practice. Autoloop can save you much time when doing looped samples and is
remarkably effective with short, sustained samples.
3. The display now asks if you want to Autoloop...
Press YES to autoloop, NO if you have a good loop and want to continue.
Note: Sometimes Emax will choose the correct splice point from a technical standpoint, not a musical
one. Therefore, if you find a good splice point, write down the S and L numbers before invoking
Autoloop. Should Autoloop produce an inferior splice point, you can regain your original
settings.
4. If desired, repeat steps 2 to 4 until the best possible loop results.
Note: Sometimes it will be impossible for you or the computer to find a perfect splice point. When you
first try looping, you will probably think this is a common occurrence. However, you’ll generally
find that Autoloop, combined with practice and experimentation, can usually produce very
smooth loops.
5. After establishing the desired loop points, press
ENTER . The display asks:
Press YES to discard all Voice data after the loop end point (this conserves memory). However, if you
might want to use the same sample later with a different loop point, press NO to keep the entire
sample intact, or save the Preset containing the original sample to disk.
