About Autosplicing

Splicing two Voices together can sometimes produce an annoying glitch at the

splice point. Consider Fig. VDEF-13, which shows two samples being spliced

together; note the discontinuity at the “splice point”. This can produce an

annoying ticking or popping sound.

As with Autolooping, the Emulator II can help you find the optimum splice point.

Set the splice points as best you can with the sliders, then press YES to invoke

Autosplice. The computer will look for places within the Voices that can be

spliced together with minimum discontinuity. Example: If you call up Autosplice

for the sample given in Fig. VDEF-14, the computer will find a good splice point

in the vicinity of the E and S points you chose (see Fig. VDEF-15). The display

will update to reflect the computer-chosen E and S points.
