FR : INcrease resolution of slicer beats

[scuzzphut]

Hi Ohm.

I have a lot of breaks which are 4 +1/4 beats or 4+1/2 beats long (i.e. 17 or 18 "steps")

Obviously these fall between 4 and 5 beats and therefore don't slice well.

Could we have a 4x increase in the resolution of the beats parameter in the slicer ?

Isn't this just because the breaks are not edited? I am planning to add a crop feature, this way you could easily get rid of the extra quarterbeat.

I'd rather not increase the resolution, because it would mean that the rest of us without these 4+1/4 beats long loops would spend more time ajusting the number of beats.

Note that it is also possible to set the number of slices to 17 or 18 and even your odd breaks will slice well. You'd have to arrange them manually though since the "lock to loop" would fail.

those breaks are not unusual - it used to be the standard that a drumloop on a sample CD would comprise one bar plus the first beat of the next.....

that said - I see your point and a crop feature would work just as well

on your last point....a couple of pictures will say it all.....
arrange manually
lock-to-loop


thnks for the quick reply , ohm. looking forward to that crop feature

I had no idea (obviously) - what's the point of this? Makes the loops very hard to use in Acid and the likes.

Do you know if your loops have loop points saved inside the wave file? If they do I can add an option to read those, and only treat the loop as 4 beats if 4 beats are selected - then you could use "lock to loop" with those breaks of yours.

my guess is that this was a audio-sampling cd, those hangover beats where there to make it easier to crop samples with a hardware sampler (using ears only on old samplers, you know? ).

Do you know if your loops have loop points saved inside the wave file?

if i'm right with my guess the answer is no

R.A.W. is correct on both points. What a very perceptive chap

thanks for a top product, ohm - keep up the great work

I won't worry about loop points this instant then.

now you know.. my first job ever was being a help desk supporter for an insurance company. now it's my hobby and it's much more fun with cool music-programs than with lame insurance-applications.
