Pitch shifting sounds like i*ht...


If you copy a sample so that you have 2 copies of the same sample and do an A-B test on both sample where A) you just use the +/- on the Tune and B) use Pitch Shift, to me the Pitch Shfited sample will always sound grainy and horrible.

What I tried to do was to Re-sample the Tuned sample and then BPM match it from the Region page, but that sounded bad also.

I had a sample that I wanted tuned down 20 semitones (-20) I guess that was too much?



Also... In the Seq Edit page there is a field that says T:, now I assume that that means Tune, its range goes from -120 to +120 which at either extreme gives you either half speed/pitch or double speed/pitch. But again the numbers dont mean anything why the hell is 120 the range? This is NOT in the manual, I spent all last night looking.

Cuz you need to do like everyone else and download every single piece of information in the addendum also.

The tune you see in the seq edit is for the 16 levels tuning only check the 1.51 addendums it explains it also.

It pitch shift works for me cuz i`m extra carefully about the alograhm I chose before I shift plus I always work out the amount and no more than a octave to avoid artifacts. Find the way that is easier for you.


But to avoid asking the obvious take time to read or sit down and push every button to see where everythings at. It helps if you know where to look.

I dont even bother with the manual anymore, and the only reason I looked in the manual the other night was because I could here the collective voice of everyone on this board saying "Read the Manual" but it wasnt there. And I didnt even think about the addendum, seriously though... why the hell should I have to look at a freckin addendum? this is a major piece of equipment and to have a manual that is so poorly written is ridiculous.

I've also stoped coming here to ask questions for fear of getting my as*hole ripped out of its socket because I didnt know to look in one of the 25 different Reference Manuals or Adendums or Update Manuals, who the hell can keep up with all that. I've just been experimenting and writing stuff down in a notebook that I discover.

The choice is yours. I used to think the same way long ago til a helpful member gave me the best advice.














































































































No one can help you better than yourself if you want to understand that investment in gear you purchase, then invest time to learn it by deciphering and studying the gear along with the literature for it.


Or you will forever be dependant on the next man that took the time and effort to learn it. Some guys will come at ya harsh, but teach a man to fish and he can catch his own fish.

Your choice.
