1. Digital Tuning
Digital Tuning allows you to change the pitch of a sound in order to
splice or combine it with another sound of a different pitch. Try offset-
ting the pitch of a copied sample by a few cents, then combine it with
the original for flange and chorus effects. If a sample is slightly out of
tune, it is usually better to fix the sample once and for all, rather than re-
tune the sample when it is placed on the keyboard.
1. Activate Digital Processing module.
2. Select 8. Digital Tools II, 1. Digital Tuning (8/1). The display will
Q Tip: Re-tuning pitch downward
show the current tuning offset, sample size and loop size.increases the sample size. Re-tuning pitch
upwards decreases the sample size.
3. Select the desired amount of re-tuning, then press ENTER. The
display will update the sample size to reflect the new tuning. The
loop size display shows the size of the resulting loop. If a fractional
number is shown, listen to the resulting loop carefully. The loop size
will be slightly altered by the conversion process.
The Of� in the upper right corner indicates the reconstruction filter that
will be used in the resampling process. Higher numbers indicate more
interpolation filtering (cutting more high frequencies). There are six
interpolation filter frequencies (0-5). By performing successive digital
tunings with lower reconstruction filter numbers, the automatic filtering
system can be subverted and the sample can be kept brighter.
