realtime pitch shifting

ive learned how to pitch shift a sample and i think its a great feature,but when i put a sample in that i dont know what the bpm is the result is always poor.how do you figure out what the bpm of a sample is without having to use something like recycle.guess?

why do you need to know the bpm again?

if you dont put in the correct bpm then the sample that your trying to pitchshift across your keyboard doesnt sound right.im getting it slowly but surely.it just takes some practice.

It should detect the bpm automatily, right be for the "do it" option. after you record the sample,an go to trim, what else do you do?

i didnt record it in i transfered it usb.

after you transfer it what are the next steps you take?

if it is a perfect loop then record it on the first tick of the bar.

set the bars according to the samples length.

match the metronome up and adjust the start/end points of the loop if you have to.

fux with the tempo until it loops perfectly and matches the metronome.

this usually takes me about 30 seconds to 2 minutes at most.

if it isn't a loop then you'll have to figure it out yourself.

but basically you do the same thing, except you have to create the space in the sequence where the sample isn't playing.

i think you're confused. there is no option to adjust the bpm from the pitchshift screen. if you are trying to timestretch, thats a different thing all together. good luck though.

yeah this is what i figured out to do.thanks though.mostly what i really want to do is take a single note,like a bass note and be able to play like the original without speeding up or slowing down.it just takes a little practice is all.great feature though.

take a loop from the original song and sync it up to find the tempo.

then chop those bass hits out and play them in at the tempo of the song you sampled from. But you surely don't have to use the same tempo.

you can get them to blend using decay/reverb/delay

its always an experiment to see what you can do with what you have
