Copy zone to temporary memory? forum fam appreciation!

its official im a convert. im in albq nm and tictoc came by and let me borrow is 60 for a couple days. this thing is fuc!<ing bad.

im getting around great, but when copying zone n the sample edit screen to a temporay location, where is the temporary loction?? if i can figure out how to chop w/ this imma be in a sweat..i looked n the manual but i haven't found it yet and sadly i don't have much time, so anyone want to help me out?

thnks for the 60II these few days, having it here at rhett's where im staying ive been looking at it and playing w/ it non-fuc!<ing-stop.
TicToc this isn't over yet....

all love.

Hope you enjoy the records

It's in the FAQ, and the archives, and in the manual. keep scrolling through the do it menu and it might hit ya. It isn't that hard.

cool, i didn't have time to look, i only had a few precious hours w/ the 60...so you paste the event into step edit???

No.

allright imma go look in the faq..although i won't be able to use this new knowledge for awhile....im missin the 60 allready.

here it is...i just couldn't pull myself away for the 60 long enough to look...shame on me..
Record and save a sample that you want to chop.
then go back to the sampling screen and set your sample time to 0.1 second and sample nothing (silence). If your Threshhold is too high it won't trigger the sample with silence, but if you have your Turntable hooked up and the needle on the record (which, since you are sample, should be the case) you just need to bump the TT or the table it's on and it will trigger the sampler without sampling any noise. Silence is not critical though.

save the sample and do it a few times (for as many chops as you need).

The go to the main sample in the edit sample page (Sounds > 6).
Set the play X button (Soft Button 3) to play zone [it's on the right, second field from the bottom] and set the zone on what you want to extract.

Once you got it, hit copy zone to temp.
Then go to one of the blank samples, still in Edit sample screen, the zone should be set to .100 on both start and end.
Go to the the <do it> button field at the lower right where you select copy to temp and delete before soft start, etc. Change that to INS TEMP TO ZONE END.
Once that's copied, you need to set the soft start and soft end how you want it, wide open if you zoned it right, but the soft start should be at 000.100.00 which is the silence that created the sample.
Then go back to the <do it> menu and set it to delete before soft start so you can delete the silent 0.100 that you started with when you press <Do it>.

yup.

Or there's other ways to chop on the 60, but that way is the easiest.

You could just copy the sample numerous times (Assuming you have the memory) and set different soft start and end points on each copy, then truncate before and after the different start and end points.

But yeah, elmacaco's way is faster and easier and doesnt eat up as much memory.

Thanks for crediting me Tic, yo incurable, next time just name the poster of the quote you take from the faq. Few people knew about it here before I spelled it out, and no one told me, I figured it out.

cool, got it...

without Elm's technique, chops on the 60 would take a lot longer and much more memory... thanks again Elm...

Thanks man, I do what I can to help people understand just how incredible the 60 is, and I want my credit dammit!!

cool, ididn't realise at first that this is something you figured out, i thought it was handed down to you too...btw..whats elmacaco mean(if anything)??

Nah man, I figured out most of the stuff in the 60 before I was online, Here I figured some stuff out and some people let me know about some other things. But I take those and find out more about the 60. I want others to get into their 60 and share tips they find out with us too, but most of the time it's just a few cats who give up the goods, and cat's that know what I've told them don;t answer people, they wait for me to tell them, which kinda sucks.

As far as I know, the .1 second sampling to paste into is my invention. I'm sure others in the past have done it, maybe, but I've never heard of it before or since. the 60 has lots of things like that where you can do incredible things with the basic things it offers, and I hope others share the things they uncover here.

I'd like to think I have made a lot of people's 60 a more useful by spreading this knowledge, perhaps fueling part of the resurgence in interest in the 60. I just hope that others contribute as well.

Elmacaco means the Macaque, it was my kung Fu Teacher's nickname for me cuz I was dope at monkey style.

This is def the quickest and prob best way to chop on the 60. I wouldnt have known about it if not for the faq here in the forum so big props to elm and all the other cats postin tips for the 60.
