Is it possible to make a sample sound longer, to "hold the note", per example: my sample just sounds as "bip" and I want it to sound as "Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip" or ''la" to "laaaaaaaaa".
I hope I am clear enough.
Thx

Say you have a bass note

brrrr

Time stretched its

brrrrrrrrrrrr


The sample is longer but the pict is the same.


thats not really true. surely it will be stretched to bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no?

just like bip stretched double will be bbiipp. its hard to tell from the OP if this is what is meant

If you have, say, a short note and want it to play indefinately you can loop a section of it, but personally I've found it's not easy to get it to sound natural (not stuttery). If anyone could share some tips here it would be much appreciated. :wink:

Exactely.

With Timestrech, cant get a good result.

I am going to try to split the sound in 3 part 1-2-3 , ans repeat part 2 very fast ( 1-222222-3)
( b-iiiiiiiiiiiii-p) and not ( bbbbiiiiipppp)
