if you have a short sample, say a guitar note, or a a deep piano note or whatever, throw it onto two pads (probably easiest side by side) and lay each sample down into a four bar loop or whatever is you got by letting each sample overlap each other just slightly... the result is that you hear the same sample over and over again (overlapping each other a bit) but it probably sounds real choppy.

using your sliders, throw an after attack on each sample and adjust your sliders so that the samples just kind of flow into each other... the final sound can be f*cking ill, kind of like a pulsing sample that never ends...

i learned that one while i was trying to fade into two of the same piano hits, and the sound i got was so original... i was almost hesitant to throw this little tip out there, though i'm sure lots know about, but in the name of good music i feel some peoples should experiment with this in their own individual manner...



thanx for sharing, that was big of you
