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, in which each zone plays back the
ReCycle loop to its very end (at the current project tempo), starting with the slice
points originally assigned to the respective zones. In other words, the lowest zone will
play back the entire loop, and the highest zone will only play the last slice of the loop.
This kind of loop trigger techniques allow for old school drum’n’bass style triggering, in
which 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 the 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 has been copied into the Clipboard via ReCycle’s Copy Loop
facility.
The 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 in EXS instruments,
triggering the imported slices at the timing defined by the ReCycle files.
To generate a new MIDI region from a ReCycle instrument:
m Choose Instrument > ReCycle Convert > Extract Region(s) from ReCycle Instrument.
The MIDI regions are created on the currently selected track, at the current project
position (rounded to bars). A single MIDI region is generated for each imported ReCycle
loop in the currently open instrument. This function will also ask for a velocity factor
(see above).
