keyboard.
Sliced Loops - There are 405 sliced loops patches. Each loop from the product has been given

(starting on C4) giving you complete access to create your own custom drum parts.
Wobble Basses - This section includes patches from each kit that include all wobble bass slices

to be used as a loop but rather as sample menus of all the bass wobbles from each kit, allowing
you to create your own custom parts. Rearrange, tweak, shorten or go crazy with these wobble
bass patches, the possibilities are endless. click here to see a demo video of these patches is

FX INTERAFCE

button on the bottom right corner of the FX window.

LOOP FX

The most extensive editing can be done in the sliced loop patches. Each loop is given its
own patch with an interface that allows for extensive loop manipulation. Adjustments to
volume, pitch, play back direction, attack, decay, cutoff, and resonance can all be applied
to each slice of the loop by first selecting the parameter you want to effect at the top and
then clicking within each slice to edit that parameter.
KEY TERMS
Volume - By default the volume is set to 100% for each slice. To make adjustments, click on
a slice then drag down to decrease the volume of that slice.
Pitch - Pitch can be adjusted up to 12 positive or negative semitones. To make adjustments,
click on the white horizontal line in the center of a slice, then drag up or down.
Reverse - To reverse a slice, click on the bottom, then drag up.
Attack - Attack specifies the time it will take the slice to reach its maximum level when the
MIDI note is received. To add a longer attack time, click on a slice then drag up.
Cutoff - Cutoff by default is set to 100%. To change the cutoff frequency, click on a slice,
then drag down.
Resonance - Resonance adjusts the emphasis of the frequency area around the Cutoff
frequency. To change the amount of resonance, click on a slice, then drag up.
If after making changes, you decide you would like to return to the default settings, instead
of re-loading the patch, click on the edit button to the left of the waveform display and
choose Reset to Default. This will reset all changes made.

LOOP FX CONTD
KEY TERMS CONTD
There are a couple of useful combination key stroke and mouse clicks that can make editing
slices a little easier. Option+command+click (Mac) or Control+Alt+Click (PC) resets slice
parameters to zero. Holding down those keys and dragging up or down allows all slices to be
edited at the same time. To draw a line across multiple slices press the Option/Alt key, click on
a slice as your start point for the line. Next, release ONLY the mouse button, while still holding
the Option/Alt key, click on the slice that youd like to draw the line to and drag up or down to
create the line.
There are two keyswitches to change how the loop will playback. The mode is changed by
one of the two key switches starting at C0.
C0 (Red Key) - Play loop forward
D0 (Blue Key) - Play loop backward
In the lower right hand corner, there are two buttons: Input Q and One Shot.
Input Q - Offsets loop playback by the selected value.
One Shot When the One Shot button is active, each slice will only play the sound
contained in that slice. When One Shot mode is not active, the remainder of the loop will
continue playing from the slice that was triggered. (Note: When one-shot mode is active the
loop can still be played in its entirety by playing C0.
Presets - There is a knob at the lower right hand corner called presets. This can be used to
create multiple edits of the same loop
Midi Files - A midi file of the loop can be dragged from the interface to your track by using
the icon in the upper right hand corner of the loop waveform display. These can be very
helpful to completely rearrange the loop, quantize, or to simply make minor changes to the
various slices of the loop.

DISPLAY WINDOW

To see the name of the loop currently being played select the display tab at the bottom.
This tab is only available in the Kit Combos section.

MIXER WINDOW

Every Kit combo contains a simple mixing window. Each group of instruments has been given a
mixer to control pan and volume. Often, many loops can be grouped under one mixing fader. You
will find this when you have multiple versions of the same instrument part. For example, you may
have 3 different Conga loops, so all the Conga loops would be controlled by the main Conga mixer.
