EDIT SAMPLE

S3000XL Operator’s Manual Page 141

Here you can set the cycle length (in samples). The soft key

can be used to help you find the right sample length. As with

autolooping, the S3000XL applies software logic to the sample to

calculate what it believes is the right answer but, like autolooping,

whilst the S3000XL will often help you, it is not always infallible.

The function only applies to the CYCLIC mode of

timestretch.

This sets the percentage by which the sample will be stretched or

shrunk. The range is 25% to 2000% (although we are the first to

admit that such extremes are only going find favour with the truly

mad!). As this parameter is adjusted, you will see the length of the

sample changing in the adjacent field and in the

field above that.

As mentioned, there are two ways in which you can stretch a

sample and this is selected here. CYCLIC uses a fixed cycle time

at which the S3000XL will stretch. When INTELL is selected here,

the S3000XL makes its own decisions as it proceeds with the

stretching process. Be warned, though! Although the intelligent

mode will produce better results, the time taken for this operation

is much longer than when the CYCLIC mode (up to several

minutes depending on the length of the sample and the amount

of stretch).

Remember that to perform any of these operations, you will need

to have enough free memory.

This sets a level of intelligence for the S3000XL to work with when

performing an intelligent timestretch. It sets the number of

decisions it will make as it works its way through the sample. With

lower values set here, it will not make so many examinations of the

sound. With higher settings, it will examine the sound in great

detail and so produce better results although this will take longer.

This control only has a function when INTELL is selected.

This sets a crossfade between the original and the inserted data. It

is recommended that when low values are set, this should

be set high and vice versa. This control only has a function when

INTELL is selected.
