System Requirements, Installation, Con guration, Setup and Usage
If the current track is mono, the TimewARP 2600 for this track will be con gured for one
channel of input, and you can select between mono and stereo output. If the current
track is stereo, the TimewARP 2600 insert will automatically be con gured for stereo
throughout. Con rm this, when the synthesizer panel comes up, by observing that the
preamp module in the upper left corner has
two
channel outputs rather than just one.
If you are processing an existing track, press play on the transport control to hear
the audio being processed by the TimewARP 2600 in real time. You need to select an
appropriate TimewARP 2600 patch (such as those in the
Voice
or
Guitar Effects
categories
in the
Factory
group) to successfully process audio this way.
If you are processing a live track, enable the track’s record mode, and then audio from
your input will be fed through the TimewARP 2600. You need to select an appropriate
TimewARP 2600 patch (such as those in the
Voice
or
Guitar Effects
categories in the
Factory
group) to successfully process audio this way.
2.1.3.3
MIDI Tracks
Running as a track plug-in, the TimewARP 2600 can process prerecorded MIDI tracks.
To do this, set up two tracks just as you did above in section 2.1.3.1: an audio track that
is running the TimewARP 2600 as a track insert, and a MIDI track whose output is routed
to the TimewARP 2600.
When you play this track (use the Pro Tools transport window to play, rewind, pause the
MIDI sequence, etc.), the MIDI events stored in the track sequence will be routed to the
TimewARP 2600. MIDI note-events will become key depressions at the virtual keyboard;
MIDI pitch-bend will turn the virtual keyboard pitch-bend knob; and MIDI controllers
that are mapped to TimewARP 2600 sliders, knobs or switches (see section 2.2) will move
those controls.
2.1.4
Selecting Patches
The TimewARP 2600 gives you a three-level hierarchy for storing and organizing your
patches. All
Patches
are sorted into various
Categories,
which are in turn sorted into major
Groups.
Each of the three patch selection buttons generates a drop-down list associated
with one layer in this hierarchy.
Groups, Categories,
and
Patches
can also be selected by keyboard shortcuts.
The up/down
arrow keys
on the computer keyboard select Patches, the
left/right arrow keys
move
between
Categories
, and using the
control key
with the
control key with the control key
left/right arrow keys
moves between
Groups.
2.1.5
Making Patch Connections
Use the mouse to connect any output to any input jack. Position the cursor at any signal
output, click and hold down the mouse button, and drag the patch cord to any signal
input. To remove a patch cord, drag either end away from its signal jack.
The TimewARP 2600 will not connect two outputs or two inputs together. If you drag
from one jack to another but no patch cord appears, it may be that both jacks are inputs
or both are outputs.
