In addition, a MIDI region is generated on the currently selected track, at the current
project position, rounded to whole bars. This MIDI region is used to trigger the imported
slices at the timing defined by the ReCycle file. You can generate new MIDI regions at
any time from the imported EXS instrument (see Generating a MIDI Region from a ReCycle
Instrument), so feel free to modify or delete the region.
The “Extract MIDI Region and Add Samples to Current Instrument” command allows you
to add the slices of a ReCycle loop to any EXS instrument currently opened in the
Instrument Editor. This allows you to use several different ReCycle loops in a single sampler
instrument.
Assigning the Complete ReCycle Loop to a Zone
The Instrument > ReCycle Convert > “Slice Loop and Make New Instrument” command
creates an EXS instrument from a ReCycle loop. Each slice is chromatically mapped across
the keyboard—from low to high notes. Each zone plays back the ReCycle loop to the end
point, at the current project tempo. This means that the lowest zone will play back the
entire loop, but the highest zone will only play the last slice of the loop. Notes between
the lowest and highest zones will play several slices.
This allows for old school drum’n’bass-style note triggering, where the sample loop start
point is determined by playing the respective notes on the keyboard.
The Instrument > ReCycle Convert > “Slice Loop and Add Samples to Current Instrument”
command adds the zones from the sliced loop to the currently active sampler instrument.
Pasting Loops from the Clipboard
The Edit > “Paste ReCycle Loop as New Instrument” command creates an EXS instrument
from a ReCycle loop that was copied into the Clipboard—with ReCycle’s Copy Loop
function.
Instrument creation is identical to the “Extract MIDI Region and Make New Instrument”
command.
The Edit > “Paste ReCycle Loop to Current Instrument” command adds the zones to the
currently active sampler instrument.
Generating a MIDI Region from a ReCycle Instrument
You can generate a MIDI region from imported ReCycle files. These regions trigger the
imported slices at the timing defined by the ReCycle files.
