Anybody here using an S950? I'm still fairly new to it and haven't quite figured out the time stretch feature that so many kats used back in the 90s.
••> I've got a few questions on time stretching:
1. How do I match the bpm of the beat i'm working on.
2. Is the time stretch function irreversible once it has been initiated? If so should I make sure I have a duplicate copy of the sound in memory or just reload it from disk?
••> I've got a few questions regarding truncation:
1. When truncating drum samples such as a kick or snare what is the best method for finding the 0 starting point at which the samples attack occurs. On the MPC-60II you can search for it using the soft start function. On an SP12(00) you can set the note resolution to hi and hold down the repeat pad while editing your samples and listen for the attack. On the S950 it seems to be automatic but if you rotate the knob it seems to jump quite a bit and almost seems to cut off the attack of my kick drum. I'm not sure how this works exactly. I've read the manual as I always do and still seem to be having difficulty with it.
2. Also is it possible to adjust fade/decay at the end of a sample in a manner such as on the MPC60II? If so how is this achieved?
Thanks in advance.
