Loop Start
Loop Start
sets the point that the loop
loops back to when the loop end point
is encountered. The position of the start
point can be modulated by any of the CV
inputs with the modulation gain set by
the associated attenuverter. Positive CVs
move the start point towards the end of the
sample, while negative CVs move it toward
the beginning of the sample. Modulation
gain can be set over a range of from -1.00 to
+1.00.
NOTE:
You can never move the start
beyond the current position of the end
point, either manually or via modulation.
The shortest loop allowed by Assimil8or is 4
samples, so if you move or modulate the start
point as close to the end point as allowed, you
will end up with a loop 4 samples in length.
ANOTHER NOTE:
In
Loop Length
mode,
you will not be able to move or modulate
the start point any closer to the end point
than the programmed loop length. Once
movement of the start point causes the end
point to reach the end of the sample, you will
be unable to move the start point any further
in that direction.
YET ANOTHER NOTE:
The default loop
points for a new sample are at the
beginning and end of the sample. If you are
in
Loop Length
mode, you will be unable
to move the start point at all until you have
moved the end point to define a new, shorter,
loop length, or changed from
LEN
to
END
mode.
Loop End
Whether it’s defined as an absolute location
or by length, the
Loop End Point
sets the
point at which the sample loops back to the
loop start point. The position of the end point
or the loop length (depending on mode) can
be modulated by any of the CV inputs with
the modulation gain set by the associated
attenuverter. Positive CVs move the point
towards the end of the sample, while
negative CVs move it toward the beginning of
the sample. Modulation gain can be set over
a range of from -1.00 to +1.00.
NOTE:
You can never move the end
point before the current position of the
start point, either manually or via modulation.
The shortest loop allowed by Assimil8or is 4
samples, so if you move or modulate the end
point as close to the start point as allowed, you
will end up with a loop 4 samples in length.
ANOTHER NOTE:
In
Loop Length
mode,
you will not be able to move or modulate
the end point any closer to the start point
than the programmed loop length. Once
movement of the end point causes the start
point to reach the beginning of the sample,
you will be unable to move the end point any
further in that direction.
Smoothing
The
Smoothing
function described in
Chapter 18
can help smooth out the sound
of a less than perfect loop splice. It’s actual
effect will depend on the audio in question
and how good the splice is to begin with.
Simply try turning it on and off and see if it
makes a positive difference.
Zones
If a channel is using the
Zones
function, the
loop points can be set independently for
each sample in a zone. Simply select each
zone and adjust its settings.
The number of the currently selected zone
is displayed in the upper righthand corner
of the screen, along with the number of the
currently playing zone (in red). It is possible
for these to be different, so if you’re setting a
zone’s loop points and don’t hear any effect,
make sure the zone you’re hearing is the one
you’re actually editing.
