1 D Introduction
Welcome to ReCycle 2.0! Copyright Issues First of all we’d like to thank you for purchasing ReCycle 2.0! You are now in possession of a unique tool which will be an enormous time saver and which will add great creative possibilities to your music making. The raw material with which you feed ReCycle is drum loops, grooves, breakbeats, or whatever sampled weirdness you find appropriate. Included in this package is a great selection to get started with.
About This Manual MacOS vs. Windows The documentation is both for the MacOS and Windows versions of ReCycle 2.0. Most pictures show the Macintosh version but things are identically titled and positioned in both versions. Sometimes, a key command is different in the two versions. This is indicated like this: Hold down [Option] (Mac) / [Alt] (Win) and... Everything said in the manuals applies to both platforms, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
INTRODUCTION 8
2 D Macintosh Installation
Requirements To use ReCycle for Macintosh you need the following: • • • Any Power Macintosh with a CD-ROM drive and 16-bit audio. 16 MB of RAM or more. System 8.6 or later. For communication with your specific sampler, you might also need: • • A MIDI interface and cables, and/or... A SCSI interface and SCSI cables. For SCSI communication, your computer must use SCSI Manager 4.3 (see page 13).
Setting Up The Sampler, MIDI and SCSI Launching ReCycle ! If you don’t plan to use ReCycle with an external sampler connected via SCSI or MIDI, you can skip this section. 2. The program prompts you to insert the ReCycle CD-ROM (if not already in the drive). This is only required the first time you run the program. ! The newer Macintosh models do not have built in SCSI. These models require a separate SCSI card to communicate with samplers via SCSI. 3.
D Although the built-in sound capabilities on a Macintosh computer are of a high standard, there are professional samplers that are capable of even higher quality sound reproduction. This means that when you are auditioning audio directly from your Mac, this won’t necessarily reflect the final audio quality in the sampler. Audio Card Driver After launching ReCycle, you should open the Preferences dialog on the Edit menu and check the Audio Card Driver settings at the top.
System Information When ReCycle is running, you will find an additional item on the Apple menu, called “System Information”. If you select this item, a dialog will open, displaying information about your computer and the SCSI and OMS configurations: SCSI This section indicates whether SCSI Manager 4.3 is installed (required for SCSI communication in ReCycle), and contains a pop-up menu where you can view the available SCSI buses. D Again, it doesn’t matter which SCSI bus is “selected” on the pop-up menu.
Memory setting and Audio Getting Help and files Additional Info Every Macintosh program has a memory setting. This is used to tell the computer how much RAM memory to reserve for a particular program. This setting can be changed from the Finder as described below. If you pull down the Contacts menu in ReCycle, you will find some menu items that allow you to contact the manufacturers and get support: When ReCycle ships, you will be able to load 30 seconds worth of 44.
3 D Windows Installation
Requirements To use ReCycle for Windows you need the following: • • • • • • An Intel Pentium computer running at 66 MHz or faster. A 800x600, 256 color monitor or better. A CD-ROM drive. 16 MByte RAM or more. A Windows compatible, 16-bit audio card. Microsoft Windows 98 or NT 4.0 or later. For communication with your specific sampler, you might also need: • • A Windows compatible MIDI Interface and cables, and/or... A 100% Windows compatible SCSI interface and cables.
Installing ReCycle 1. On the CD-ROM, double click the icon named "Install ReCycle". Installing SCSI ReCycle works with any SCSI host adapter that is 100% Windows compatible. ! 2. Follow the instructions in the dialog boxes that appear. 3. At the end of the installation you may be required to restart your computer. Do so. ! Don’t launch ReCycle yet! You need to perform some additional steps first: Do not connect anything to the SCSI card until you have finished installation of the card and its drivers.
Verifying that the Sampler is registered by Windows When Windows starts you should get an alert saying that “Windows has found new unknown hardware”. This indicates that Windows has found your sampler. The “Add New Hardware Wizard” will then appear, asking you to install device drivers for the hardware. Proceed as follows: 1. On the first page of the Wizard, just click “Next”. 2. Next, select the option “Search for the best driver for your device” and click “Next”.
Audio Settings After launching ReCycle, you should open the Preferences dialog on the Edit menu and check the Audio Card Driver settings. D If there is no specific ASIO driver, you should select the Direct Sound driver for the audio hardware. This makes ReCycle communicate with the hardware via Direct Sound (a part of the Microsoft DirectX package). For this to be possible, you need to have DirectX installed on your computer, and there must be a Direct Sound driver for the audio hardware.
Setting the Audio Card Buffer ASIO If an ASIO driver is selected, there will be no “Buffer Size” slider in the Preferences dialog. D If you are using an ASIO driver specifically written for the audio hardware, you can in some cases make settings for the hardware by clicking the Control Panel button.
Contacts System Information The next items on the Help menu allow you to contact Propellerhead Software for support and more info. If you select this item, a dialog will open, displaying information about your computer and the MIDI and SCSI configurations: ! For these items to be useful, you need to have a valid Internet connection and an Internet browser installed on your computer. D Go to the Propellerhead Homepage...
SCSI This section indicates which version of ASPI (the protocol for SCSI communication under Windows) is installed. The pop-up menu contains a list of the available SCSI buses. Copy to Clipboard Clicking this button copies the contents of the System Information dialog onto the Windows clipboard. You can then paste this into a text file or an e-mail, e.g. when contacting tech support. About ReCycle Selecting this item brings up a dialog listing the fine people involved in creating this program.
4 D Quick Tour of ReCycle
How ReCycle Works There are many things you can do with ReCycle. But the most common application is to slice a loop for tempo changes or editing. These are the basic steps (details follow later in this chapter): 1. Load the loop in from your sampler, or, if you have the loop as an audio file on your hard disk, open it. The program now analyses the loop and detects the individual “hits” or “sounds” in it. It then displays the loop in the waveform display. 3.
Using ReCycle - Step By Step The text below assumes that you have installed ReCycle and a sequencer program such as Cubase and that all connections to your sampler are set up and working. If not, please see the Installation chapter for more information. 4. In the window, click the Play button. You should now hear the entire loop, from start to end, repeating until you click the Stop button.
7. Drag the Left and Right Locators until the loop is exactly 1 bar long. The left locator should be positioned at the start of the loop, on the first slice marker, and the right locator should positioned on the last slice marker. This last slice contains the “extra” downbeat (see step 4), but as the Right Locator position governs when the loop should jump back to the Left Locator, this second downbeat won’t be played, and the loop will now be exactly 1 bar.
14. Pull down the Sampler menu and select the top item on the menu (“Transmit to...”), depending on what you selected in the previous step). A dialog box opens. Exactly what the dialog looks like depends on the sampler. As an example, we’re showing the Yamaha A3000 dialog. 6. If you want to, you can also try customizing the loop by editing, rearranging and duplicating the events in the sequencer. 7.
Exporting to File Besides creating REX2 files for use in audio sequencers, or transmitting separate slices to samplers, ReCycle can be used to simply change the inherent properties of a file, like the tempo and/or the pitch for example. You can then export the loop (as one sample - not as separate slices) and use it in any audio application or sampler. A typical example would be a situation where you have found a perfect loop you wish to use in a song you have recorded.
5 D Sampler Settings
The Sampler Settings dialog ! If you are not using ReCycle with a sampler connected to the computer, you can skip this chapter. ! For file-based samplers (SampleCell, Mixman or SoundFonts) and the AKAI S5000/S6000 series, this dialog is not used. See the “Sampler and File Format Reference” Acrobat documentation for details.
D If a sampler is found, that isn’t properly connected, ReCycle will inform you of this and tell you what you need to do. For example, you may have a Yamaha A3000 sampler connected via SCSI only. The program will find it, but since this sampler requires a MIDI connection, it will not be added to the Sampler List. Instead you will be asked to check your MIDI connection and MIDI interface.
Common to both protocols is the ability to send samples between any two devices in a commonly recognized format. See the “Sampler and File Format Reference” online document for details. D MIDI settings. If the selected sampler uses a MIDI connection, you will find settings for MIDI In/Out ports and SysEx ID. To change these settings, use the respective pop-up menu. Adding an Ensoniq Sampler D SCSI settings. If the selected sampler uses a SCSI connection, you will find settings for SCSI Bus and SCSI ID.
Deleting a Sampler from the list If you wish to remove a sampler from the Sampler List, proceed as follows: 1. Pull down the Sampler pop-up menu and select the sampler you want to remove. 2. Click the “Delete...” button at the bottom of the dialog. 3. Click “Yes” to confirm that you want to remove the sampler.

6 D Opening and Receiving Audio
About Sounds and Memory Using Open Whenever ReCycle displays audio in a window, it has to load it into the computer’s RAM memory. MacOS Note: If you want to be able to load a lot of sound files or if you want to have many windows open at the same time you will need to assign the program more memory. See page 14 for more info. How much audio you can load into the program at one time depends on how much memory you have in your computer (total) and how much of it that other programs are currently using.
File Information You will not be able to play a file under the following conditions: When you select a file in the list, information about file type, length, etc. is shown in the lower part of the Open dialog. • • • If the file is in a format ReCycle doesn’t support. If there isn’t enough memory (RAM) left to load the sample. If the sample is longer than 30 seconds, the Auto Play function will not work - you can, however, audition it using Play.
Using Drag and Drop ReCycle supports standard Drag and Drop. Proceed as follows: 1. In the Finder/Explorer, locate an audio file in one of the supported file formats. 2. Drag this file and drop it on the ReCycle icon. If the program is already running, the file appears in a new window. If it isn’t, ReCycle launches and the file opens. Launching from Files Receiving Audio from the Sampler If you have an external sampler connected to the computer, ReCycle can receive the audio directly from it. 1.
If the “Do you want to move the left locator...” dialog appears If you Open or Receive a sample, and there is no loop setting, or the loop start is just at the beginning of the sample, a dialog appears suggesting you should let the program move the Left Locator to the first slice point. This is to avoid very short slices at the beginning of the sample. We recommend that you click “Yes” unless you have good reason.

The leftmost area of the Status Bar displays the following: D If you point anywhere on the Toolbar, this area will display “extended” tooltips and, if applicable, keyboard shortcuts in parentheses for any Toolbar item you point to. This area says “Ready” if you are not pointing at any item. The Toolbox is located in the upper left corner of the toolbar.
Handling Windows You can Open or Receive as many loops as RAM permits, and they will each appear in a window. • • • • For more information about window handling, see the documentation that came with your computer. ReCycle’s Windows menu contains a list of the currently open windows. Selecting one makes it active. The Close item on the File menu closes the active window. Close All on the Windows menu closes all windows. Using The Magnifying Glass Zooming in 1.
Magnifying using the Thumbnail Overview D The method of making up a rectangle with the [Command] key (MacOS) / [Control] key (Windows), described above, can also be used in the thumbnail overview. This changes the zoom factor of the main waveform, not of the thumbnail itself. Waveform Display Options You can customize the look of the Waveform window by using the settings at the bottom of the Preferences dialog: Zooming in using the thumbnail.
The View Menu The Edit Menu The View menu features the following items that relate to how the waveform is displayed: The Edit menu features the following items: If you select Magnify to Fit from the View menu, the display will zoom out so that the entire sample fits the window. If Magnify to Fit Loop is selected, the display will zoom in (or out) so that the area between the left and right locators will fit the window. You can use “Copy Loop” to copy the entire loop (i.e.
Context Menu Items Slice Marker Strip Right-clicking (Windows) or [Ctrl]-clicking (MacOS) in different areas of the waveform display will bring up context-sensitive menus. The context menus will contain various items also found on the Edit and View menus, but there are some additional items that are only available via context menus. Main Waveform Display The highlighted area indicates the Marker strip area.
Slice Handles Right-clicking (Windows) or [Ctrl]-clicking (MacOS) directly on a slice handle, brings up a context menu with the following items: | Menu Item | Description Locked Toggles the “Locked” status on or off for the slice handle you click on. See page 56. Hidden Toggles the “Hidden” status on or off for the slice handle you click on. See page 54. Delete This will delete any selected slice(s). See page 58. Select All This will select all slices. See page 57. Invert Selection See page 57.
8 D Playing Audio
Audio Quality Auditioning Slices ReCycle plays back audio directly from your computer, using the sound capabilities of your specific computer (see the Installation chapters for more details). When transferred to a sampler, the sound is reproduced with the highest possible fidelity by the sampler. This may or may not be better than your computer’s sound capabilities, depending on your setup.
The current Slice is indicated in the ReCycle window by a dotted vertical Slice marker. The current Slice Preview mode The Preview function lets you audition the loop exactly as it will sound when transmitted to a sampler, or saved as a file. In Preview mode you can change the pitch or tempo independently from each other, change the gain of the loop, add processing and more.
4. Click the Envelope button, or select “Envelope” from the View menu. The Envelope panel appears below the main toolbar. Envelope allows you to adjust three parameters; Attack, Decay and Stretch (see the chapter “Processing Audio” for a full description of the Envelope parameters). This particular file was saved with non-default Attack and Decay parameter settings, which means that the Envelope effect is already turned on.
9 D Setting Slices And Loops
Using Sensitivity Using the Hide tool Most of the time when working with ReCycle, you will want to cut your loop up into slices. A slice is a section of the waveform, from one slice marker to the next. You might run into situations where there are too many slices on the screen. You could of course reduce the Sensitivity to get rid of the slice markers you don’t want, but then other slice markers could disappear too, and this might not be desirable.
Hiding several Slices at the same Time If you have several slices selected (see below) they will all get hidden when you click on one of them. In the example above, the Sensitivity slider had to be set to a fairly high value to get the number of slices you see. But raising Sensitivity led to one unwanted slice, splitting a sound in two. Hiding is the solution. After Hiding the unwanted slice. Clicking on one of the selected slices...
Using the Lock Tool The Lock tool is essentially the opposite of the Hide tool. If you lock a slice, by clicking on its marker with the Lock tool, it will stay even if you drag the Sensitivity slider all the way to zero. Unlocking Slices To unlock a locked Slice, simply click on it again with the Lock tool.
Selecting Slice Markers Manual Slice Handling Slice markers need to be selected for some operations, like Silence Selected (see page 71 and page 84), or when moving and deleting slices (see “Manual Slice Handling” in this chapter): It is possible to add new, to move, and to delete slice markers manually. ! D Selecting is done with the Arrow Tool. You can have the Pencil Tool selected, but this automatically changes to the Arrow tool if you point in the Marker strip.
Adding a Slice at any position Where do I place the Slice? D If you hold down [Option] (MacOS) / [Alt] (Windows), the snap to zero crossing is disabled and you can add a slice at any position. We do not recommend that you do this unless you have very good reason, since it can introduce clicks and pops in the sound during playback. Zoom in far enough for the display to clearly show how the cursor jumps between zero crossings. Try to find the first position before the beginning of the sound.
How many Slices do I need? Left and Right Locator — Setting the Loop Well, it depends... By dragging • • • ! If you plan to edit the loop a lot in your MIDI sequencer, you should try to get one slice per sound in the loop, or in some situations (very busy sections for example), one slice per eighth note or sixteenth note (to simplify editing in the sequencer). If you want to create a groove, you should try to get approximately one slice per eighth note, sixteenth note or whatever the loop requires.
Tempo, Time Signature, Bars and Beats Many of the operations in ReCycle require you to specify how long the loop between the Locators actually is, meter-wise. This information is then used to calculate the tempo of the loop. Time Signature The Sign pop-up menu allows you to choose between a few of the more common Time Signatures. If none of them fit your purpose, you can still “assemble” a correct Time Signature using the Bars and Beats settings, see below.
10 D Processing Audio
About the Effects ReCycle features three effect processors, Envelope, Equalizer, and Transient Shaper, that can be used to further manipulate audio loops. D All effects are applied globally, i.e. they will affect all slices equally in a loop. D To be able to apply the effects, Preview mode must be activated.
Effect Parameters The Amount of Stretch Envelope The percentage values tell you how much longer the entire sample will be after stretching. If you select the largest value (100%), for example, the slice will become twice its original length when transmitted to the samplerexported. To open the Envelope processor, click on the Envelope button, or select Envelope from the View menu.
Transient Shaper Equalizer Transient Shaper parameters... The main Equalizer parameters. ...and the Gain meter. The Transient Shaper is a type of attack/release envelope control, which produces a result that could be likened to compression. Compressors level out the audio, by making loud sounds softer and vice versa. The result is that the levels become more even and individual sounds can get more power and “punch”. • “Normal” compressors are activated by peaks and volume changes in the actual audio.
The Process Menu In addition to the three Effect processors, there are several other “offline” (nonrealtime) audio processing functions available on the Process menu. You do not have to use Preview mode to apply offline processing.
Crop Loop D Crop Loop allows you to trim files, by removing all audio data outside the left and right locators. If you have set up a perfect loop with the locators, and the file contains audio outside this locator range you can use Crop Loop to remove this superfluous data. Remove DC This function will remove any DC offset in the audio.
Gate Sensitivity Gate Sensitivity could be described as a type of noise gate. It is triggered (opened) by every active slice start, and closes for any material (in each slice) that falls below a set threshold. When you set the Gate Sensitivity so that the end part of the slice(s) fall below the threshold, the gated part of the waveform will be greyed out. The “gated out” material is not transmitted or exported.
PROCESSING AUDIO 68
11 D Transmit and Sampler Options
Selecting a Sampler to Transmit to To route the Receive and Transmit functions to a particular sampler, select it from lower section of the Sampler menu. If your sampler is not on the menu you must add it in the Sampler Settings dialog, see page 30. ! For file-based samplers such as SampleCell and for the Akai S5000/6000 sampler series you do not use the Transmit dialog, but the Export dialog on the File menu. See the Sampler and File Reference pdf manual for details. An Akai S3000 selected.
lution is to open the file in ReCycle, then slice it up and set the length of the loop using the normal techniques. Enter Preview mode, set the new tempo and/or pitch, and lastly export the file in it’s original format but with a new tempo and/or pitch etc. A step by step example of exporting to file can be found on page 28. Transmit as One Sample can also be used in conjunction with Silence Selected to separate sounds from a loop (see below and on page 84).
Program Name When should I change from the suggested sample rate? Using this field you can specify a name for the Programs you are about to create in the sampler. Lowering the sample rate will make the samples occupy less memory in the sampler, but it will also lower the fidelity of the recording (less high frequency material will be present). • • You can specify the name directly in the dialog.
4. Transmit/Export the Program. A new Program is created in the sampler. It will get all the settings of the Template. The first slice will appear on the same key as where the first sample in the Template was. ! If you use exactly the same name as the Template, the new Program may replace the Template. Transmit This button creates a Program and samples for it as described above, without creating any MIDI File.
TRANSMIT AND SAMPLER OPTIONS 74
12 D Saving and Exporting
Saving ReCycle Documents Exporting Files The Export Sound dialog is opened by selecting “Export...” on the File menu, or by clicking the Export Sound button. If you have opened an audio file and worked on the slices and other settings, you can save it as a ReCycle (REX2) document. D Saving is done using the regular “Save” and “Save As” commands. D ReCycle files can be opened just like regular audio files (see page 36).
File Formats | Name The File Format pop-up is where you select the file format you wish to export the file as. The following file formats are supported: | Name | Ext. | Ext. SF2 SoundFont is a file format for storing wavetable synthesized sounds. Effectively, this turns an ordinary sound card into a sampler. Creates a single file when exported. See the Sampler and File Format Reference documentation for details.
Export Settings 3. Make sure “Transmit as One Sample” is deactivated on the Process menu. 4. Select “Save”, from the File menu. 5. Specify a location and name for the file and save it. 6. Switch over to Cubase VST. You need version 5 or later (same for both the Mac and Windows platforms) to be able to import REX2 files. 7. Select an Audio Track where you want to import the file and set the Left Locator at the position where you want the file to appear.
Normally you will create MIDI Files as a part of the transmission process (by clicking “MIDI File+Transmit” in the Transmit dialog). But if you only want to create a MIDI File (for example when using ReCycle to create “groove maps”), use the Export dialog and save as a Standard MIDI File. In either case you are prompted with a regular File dialog where you can specify a name and location for the file. ReCycle always creates MIDI Files of type 1. However, they only contain one Track plus a Tempo Track.
SAVING AND EXPORTING 80
13 D Example Applications
Which Samples will work? The Simple Trim All. But although ReCycle does a very intelligent analysis of the sample to find the individual “hits” or “sounds” in it, the sample has to meet some basic criteria to enable the automatic algorithm to find all the individual sounds: The most basic thing you can do with ReCycle is to set a good loop point for a sample and then transmit it to the Sampler, or export it as a file, without any slicing or processing. • 1. Open or Receive the sample.
Slicing for Tempo Changes - Sampler and REX Slicing for Tempo Changes - Exporting to Audio File 1. Open or Receive the sample. In the previous example, the result was a number of slices - in a sampler keymap or contained in a REX2 file. However, if you plan to use the file in an application that only reads regular Wave and AIFF files, you want to export your loop as one file, in any specific tempo or pitch that you decide. Proceed as follows: 2. Raise the Sensitivity Slider until a lot of slices appear.
Slicing for Editing Using Silence Selected If your main goal is to edit the loop, rather than changing its tempo, you may take a slightly different approach compared with slicing for tempo changes: Even if you don’t want to cut up a loop in slices, you can still use ReCycle to send different sounds in the loop to different outputs on your sampler to apply processing to only one drum in a loop for example.
Extracting a Groove Quantizing Audio If you think about it, you will realize that all ReCycle MIDI Files are actually timing maps of how the drums were played in the loop. Many sequencer programs have the ability to load MIDI Files and apply their timing to the sequenced parts. The terminology used is “Match Quantize” or “Groove”. If you have sliced a groove or other recording, you can apply quantizing to it in the sequencer, if you like.
Extracting Sounds This can be used to extract single sounds (snares, hi-hats etc.) from a loop or other recording. It can also be very useful if you have recorded more than one drum loop into a file and want to save each one as a separate file. 1. Open or Receive the sample. 2. Raise the Sensitivity Slider until the desired number of slices appears. Using Loops with unusual length or cutting Sometimes you don’t have a full bar of a loop.
